Uh oh

Oh no, I've done it now. Your auntie who has been ultra scathing about team building games has got to facilitate such a team building day.

In the past I have been less than complimentary about the value of getting people to blow a jelly baby around a table with a straw. Now I've got to sort out a whole day of such stuff.

Help, please... What the feck will I do with them, for a whole day !!!!!!

I don't envy you at all - my idea of hell. Changes at the library mean we're having team 'huddles' each morning and are being encouraged to think 'outside the box.' Arrgghh!

Oh how exciting, all that power in your hands. Ha! Ha! Methinks a good dose of competition is called for here, what about an assault course (rope the army in to help!), so good for team building. Camping on the Yorkshire Moors without shelter or food! What about spin the bottle, truth or dare! God, so many possibilities. You lucky thing :) TFX

If you have a budget at your disposal you could take them to an outdoor centre and get them cycling; sailing; rock wall climbing. Or you could get them building contraptions to move an egg from one place to another without breaking it our touching it with their hands. I'm sure there must be books of stuff out there - have a look on Amazon. Good Luck! Flick xx

Hello, auntiegwen -- This is about where I started reading your blog. I'm curious to know what you ended up doing about this team day thing. Was it as bad as you dreaded it would be?
