There is nothing like building your own boat or joining the Guiness book of record to build team spirit! These activities have proven to be very successful in promoting teamwork.
Given 2-3 hours to build their boat, teams tackle the technical side of the boat building and do some brainstorming to give their boat a name and make a flag to represent their team. The teams are marked on creativity, design and the technical aspects of the boat, i.e. whether it will float!
Briefed by a member of the military, the delegates' stamina and endurance will be tested on this activity day that will include orientation and also physical challenges.
Variations of the theme:
An event for the Records and sure to boost any company's spirit! Illustrated here is the world's largest sand collage (currently 28mx10m).
Other activities with PR properties:
The delegates in teams register for the workshop of their choice, to create one of the "Seven Wonders of Cyprus".

Other Team Building activities that enhance team communication, involve strategy, task-oriented assignments and the overall positive achievements of the teams, include:
