A rundown of tips to have a fun (ehem!) teambuilding activity with the youth, like we had yesterday at the beach:
1. If someone suggests that you hold a recreation/get-together/teambuilding activity somewhere special, agree with all your heart. Our getaway plan was Elleyse's idea, and we love it.
2. Set a date. For best results, set the date to tomorrow.
3. Plan, but not too much. Just agree on two things: (1) assembly time, and (2) to text one another.
4. Invite people. If they don't come, see Tip #10.
5. On the agreed date, meet up and head to your fun destination. If the said destination doesn't turn out to be as nice as you thought...
6. Go somewhere else. More fun if you don't know exactly where that "somewhere else" is so you have the opportunity to take "lost" photos of yourselves. Important: Don't forget to update late participants about your current and still-changing locations.
7. While lost, keep your eyes out for potential venues. For example, an old, rusty gate, with a view of the beach and a sign that says "Inquire."
8. Set up food and drinks. These are things that you didn't actually plan on bringing (because Tip #3), but you're hoping at least one of you thought about it. :D
9. Play charades. Especially about the people who were supposed to be there but aren't. (haha. don't worry guys, we were nice... mostly.)
10. Take lots of pictures. For documentation and to make people from Tip #4 jealous so that next time they'll know better and join you.
11. Play games that make you look silly. No photo example of this in action. We were too busy holding our tummies in painful laughter. :D
and final tip...
12. On your way home, laugh a lot and excitedly talk about next week's "teambuilding" activity. And this time, do better than Tip #3.
