Team Building can be almost any activity as long as it requires the team to do something together

It could be solving a task, doing sports activities, or simply going out to be social at a restaurant or bar. It might seem inefficient to some, but it's imperative not to underestimate the power of a team with a strong social bond. People who have a strong connection have better collaboration in projects as well. 

Team Building is all about creating healthier and stronger relationships!

You can have different team-building activities based on what you want to achieve in the team, or you might simply do them to have fun!

Here are some examples to inspire your team-building activities.
