When we talk about BBQ, everybody knows what we are talking about and we are sure most have experienced it one way or the other. But when we talk about the “BBQ Teambuilding” programme, everyone will stare at us asking what that is about.
BBQ Teambuilding is one of the creations created by Happy Sparrow. Being a food lover, he loves all kinds of food, not to mention BBQ. But he is able to help companies build their team through a unique “BBQ Teambuilding Programme” specially created to bond the employees through customised games.
The Amazing Sparrow’s BBQ Teambuilding Programme is based on the flagship Indiana Jones Teambuilding Programme by Happy Sparrow. In this special programme, participants are given a drawn-to-scale map of the location in play.
On the map, there will be many missions and challenges indicated. Once they have completed the stipulated missions, the respective team will then win the BBQ materials (e.g. charcoal, fire starters, match sticks, tongs, aluminium foil, etc.), which are the needed for the BBQ event.
In the missions, participants are also given visual clues. What the participants have to do is to use their creativity to match the visual clues to the marked location in the treasure map together with specific instructions and missions that they have to fulfil.
As everyone is important for the success of this mission, they will need to collaborate (collaboration and seeing the big picture) amongst each other to help find the treasures. Since this is not a very physical programme, it is definitely safe for the slightly older participants. Communication and being open (building the foundation of right communication and being open to changes) is the key to success for this Treasure Hunt Teambuilding Programme.
Participants only have a certain time to complete the mission; they will have to stay positive (positive mindset when facing challenges) in midst of all the challenging clues. Through this customised treasure hunt, it’s also a perfect time for managers to earmark potential leaders or supervisors which they may not see in the workplace.
Rationale: This programme requires a lot of teamwork, communication, collaboration and creativity in order to solve the special missions. It’s all about perspective. Participants have to be sensitive to their environment and be inquisitive about the visual clues given in order to solve all the puzzles.
