If you are heading back to the office, it is understandable that team morale may have dropped a bit lower than usual.

Sinking boat is a popular team exercise that encourages people to discuss and think about various ideas as a group. A list of 10 or so different people is written out – for example, a doctor, a teacher, a young baby, a vicar etc. The team then have to decide in order of importance who they would save as lifeboats are limited. After they have completed the task, teams can discuss their reasoning with other teams and see how they both resolved it.
Another popular team game is the tower of paper. People work in teams to use one piece of paper per team to make the highest tower possible. This works well as a team game, as they can all share ideas, and gets people thinking creatively. It is fun at the end to see what other teams have done and how they compare.
