Give your team game-based team building that includes all of fun, connection, communication and teamwork, through a wellbeing game-based approach grounded in the science of positive psychology

Team Building Activities

Game-based wellbeing: team building that works on Monday

At Nordaurai, we design wellbeing games for teams. Every game is original and grounded in positive psychology, the science of what helps people and teams thrive.

Our games deliver all four in one session. The play is the fun. The game mechanics build connection and communication. The debrief turns the experience into a skill the team takes back to work.

This is not just a fun activity. And it is not just a reflection session. It is both, in one experience that your team will remember and use.

it also supports wider goals: employee wellbeing, psychological safety, workplace mental health and stronger employee engagement.

What a game-based team building session looks like

Basketball for compassion is one of the wellbeing games we use during corporate gamified team building day.

Basketball for Compassion. Players take turns shooting a basketball. Score, and you congratulate yourself. Miss, and you say something kind to yourself, and a teammate says something kind to you too. It is energetic and funny. It also teaches teams how to support each other after mistakes, which is the heart of psychological safety.

How to choose a corporate team building activity

Before you book your next team building event, ask five questions:

  1. Will it be fun for everyone not just the sporty or loud people?

  2. Will people connect beyond their job titles?

  3. Will the team practise working and communicating together?

  4. Is there a debrief that links the activity to real work?

  5. Will anything be different next Monday?

If the answer to the last question is no, you are paying for a nice day, not a better team.

What real corporate team building needs

  1. Fun: Play makes engagement, people relax and show up as themselves.

  2. Connection: Teammates see each other beyond job titles, very important for psychological safely

  3. Teamwork: The team solves something together and learns how it works as a group.

  4. Communication: People practice speaking up, listening and giving feedback in a safe space.
