Team-building activities are a must for maintaining connection, communication, and trust between teammates. The right team-building experiences boost morale amongst coworkers and liven up team spirit- they create bonding memories that bring you closer as a unit.
Team-building is now more important than ever with more and more teams going remote or adopting a hybrid model- without a proper connection your team members can feel isolated or without purpose.
Team outings are a great way to reduce stress, create a lot of laughs, and get to know one another outside of the office. And the right kind of experience is powerful enough to bring together different backgrounds, ambitions, personalities, and beliefs into one cohesive and animated group.
At Yuup, we've curated some experiences which make the perfect icebreakers for new colleagues or unforgettable team outings to blow off some steam, bond, or celebrate a big win.
What sort of experience would suit your team? Would you say that they are the competitive type that love a challenge? Are they always keen for a laugh and cracking jokes? Are they thoughtful and creative? Have a look at the list below and see which team sounds familiar:
Your company has a collaborative culture
Your team thrives on collaboration, quick thinking, and creative problem-solving—so why not test their skills in the most unexpected way possible… with a sheep herding challenge?
In this hilariously hands-on countryside experience, your team will work together to guide a flock of real sheep through a series of tasks and obstacles using voice, movement, and strategy. With guidance from an expert shepherd (and maybe a sheepdog or two!), your group will split into smaller teams and compete to see who can crack the code of effective communication and calm leadership. It’s a surprising, energising way to build trust and laugh together—plus, it makes for some unforgettable team photos and stories.

Your team mates like a bit of a laugh
Are your team always cracking jokes and using humour as a secret weapon? Fancy turning that witty camaraderie into something a bit more spontaneous and team‑spirited?

No prior experience is needed - just bring your energy and an open mind.

This workshop is especially brilliant for inspiring teamwork, giving quieter members a voice, and forging genuine connections through shared laughter and creativity.
