Over the years, we have had to deliver a variety of our team building activities to groups that require a translator. This is normally because the particular teams or delegates participating don’t all have English as a first or second language. After our recent trip to the USA to deliver a morning icebreaker for 400 [Continue Reading]
7000 Conference Delegates Create a Boomwhacker Orchestra
A few weekends ago, we were asked to deliver conference energisers for 7000 delegates over two days. The objective was to wake up everyone after lunch, incorporate the conference themes into an activity and simply unite everyone in the room. In this article, I would like to show you just how easy it was to [Continue Reading]
Beatboxing Team Building
Last Wednesday, we had two Human Beatbox events and I thought I would feature them this week in our blog to highlight how versatile this vibrant team activity can be. First of all, I’m sure most of you know what beatboxing actually is but just in case… Beatboxing is the art of recreating drum machine, synthesizer [Continue Reading]
Ice Breakers for Large Groups
One of the biggest challenges conference organisers face is constantly coming up with new ice breaker ideas to put forward to their clients or directors.

Conference Activities in the Middle East
This week, we delivered our first ever event in the Middle East! It is always exciting to go somewhere completely new and to challenge ourselves working with a different culture.

Only a few weeks [Continue Reading]
Unforgettable Conference Options
Some months ago, we attended a meeting to propose an activity to kick off a large three-day conference. It soon became apparent that the most powerful and relevant option would be our drumming activity. In the time allowed, and with the conference messages all about inclusion and feeling a sense of moving forward, drumming just [Continue Reading]
Wildlife Walk Becomes a Conference Surprise Opener
There is nothing more guaranteed to get members of an audience mumbling and folding their arms than when someone introduces the morning or afternoon ‘energiser’. No matter how effective and engaging our activities actually are, we make every effort to avoid any negative apprehensions from the very start. We have many unique and entertaining strategies [Continue Reading]
A Week of Junk Funk Scrap Orchestras
We often discuss in the office the seemingly random nature of enquiries and events that are delivered. Sometimes, we have a spate of Haka enquiries or a run of Thriller events, for example. This week, it has been the turn of Junk Funk, with three junk percussion workshops in a row. This kind of event [Continue Reading]
Bespoke Conference Energiser and Ice Breaker
It’s very refreshing when a client calls with an almost perfectly complete idea of what they want to achieve on their event. Most enquiries we receive require our office managers to suggest and create team events from all the possibilities that are available to them. A few months ago, brand clients called with a brief that [Continue Reading]
