One of the most popular events we\u2019ve seen used for corporate team building \u201centertainment\u201d<\/a> is a Casino night. Each attendee is given a set number of chips and one raffle ticket at the beginning of the night and at the end of the night they can trade their winnings in for tickets towards a raffle. The more they win \u201cgambling\u201d the better the chances are of winning a prize in the raffle. If there are sponsors of the overall event, you can ask them for raffle donations. Otherwise, corporate branded items, M&S Vouchers\/Amazon gift cards, etc. can be used. I\u2019d suggest one raffle item for each 10-15 attendees. They don\u2019t need to be high value, although it\u2019s nice to have one \u201cgrand prize\u201d type item. Keep in mind if people have flown in for the event, size matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you watch you\u2019ll see alliances being formed and a lot of teamwork and coaching as more experienced players assist other players and players strategize with each other to defeat players deemed to be winning too often.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes there may be a few people not want to participate for religious\/cultural reasons, and you should always have alternates for them\u2013usually a couple of games suitable for two such as checkers and Uno to start, but they are always joined by people who have lost all their chips fairly quickly and you can have Pictionary with white boards set up for team play.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever been to Las Vegas, you\u2019ll know that Illusionists is a wildly popular form of entertainment<\/a> that dovetails with the Casino party environment<\/a>. This also works as an additional team building activity, as a good Illusionist show offers opportunities for group participation, and interaction both with the entertainers and among the participants.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
