Beach Olympics
Many people love to spend a day at the beach, and you can incorporate this into your team-building event by holding a Beach Olympics. Your workers must form teams of varying abilities and compete in various beach events, with points awarded to competing teams, and the winner is the team with the most points at the end. There are various events you can include in your Beach Olympics, such as:
- Volleyball
- Tug-O-War

You can include any event suitable for your employees and their fitness levels but ensure that everyone has plenty of UV protection and keeps hydrated with lots of water.

Another option to test your employees’ creativity is having a sandcastle or sand sculpture event. The different teams must work together to create fantastic-looking castles or sculptures, and they will be judged at the end to determine the winners. All you need are a large open beach, some basic tools like buckets and spades, and lots of creativity to create something unique. You can end the day after the event by enjoying a barbecue on the beach, which will help ensure that the event is a resounding success and lots of fun.
