All materials, facilitators, and prizes provided.

This is a variation on our tried and true and extremely popular Corporate Grand Prix. In Top Flight, teams design and "fly" planes that include wings. All planes stay the course, although none actually go airborne! A good thing, since design does not include "landing gear."

Team members have an equal opportunity to showcase skills and creativity. Facilitators brief teams on the challenge and assist throughout the process, but do not aid in construction of the planes. Each plane will have a unique design and ability to "fly" the course.

Teams design and build a Racecart from identical building materials utilizing PVC Pipe, Connectors, Wheels, Saws, Knives, Markers, assorted Steering Devices, Parts and more. In addition, each team will design a T-shirt that their "racecar" driver will wear during the race. Team members have an equal opportunity to showcase skills and creativity. Facilitators brief teams on the challenge and assist throughout the process, but do not aid in construction of the racecars. Since there is no "correct" way to build the racecars, each racecar will have a unique design and ability to run the course.
Upon completion, team racecars will compete against each other in a less than straight course (remember the racecars do not have motors and maneuverability will depend on the skill of selected team driver and "pushers" as well as construction of vehicle). Prizes will be awarded for the team with the most creative racecar design, the new corporate T-shirt, and the team that actually wins the race.
Project Recycled Runway is a fun competition that taps into the creativity and resourcefulness of your group. Teams are given the opportunity to design and construct outfits, walk down the fashion runway, and create a pitch for their fashions that ties back to the goals and objectives and theme of their meeting/event.
Participants are the "designers" as they work in teams under time pressure using newspaper, cardboard, garbage bags, cloth, recycled accessories, glue guns, staplers, and duct tape.
This is a Green Team Building Event!
Teams are judged on quality, style and ingenuity, as well as model ability and spokesperson's explanation. There is never a right answer in fashion, and the final show is always surprising and entertaining. Winning designs/teams will be judged by their peers and "celebrity" judges.
Project Recycled Runway is a teambuilding activity that is varied, collaborative, creative and engaging, generating team spirit.
Which Team will win Project Recycled Runway? And which teams will be out?

Marvelous Mural/Quilt Art Project
Participants work in teams to "design" a piece of a Mural or Quilt that when assembled represents their group, products, company or another theme. Each team gets 1-2 squares to design about their theme and/or company. Deciding on the theme of the quilt or mural is part of the challenge. TeamBuilding Unlimited works with your teams on color palette and technique—but the best part is the creativity of your participants. TeamBuilding Unlimited will guide your creativity, provide the materials, and facilitate the event. The "quilt or mural" is then assembled by your teams and can be displayed back at the workplace or donated to shelters, hospitals or other sites.
This team building event involves creativity, leadership, strategic thinking, sequenced planning and communication. Mural Making is about Process, as much as art. Facilitators work with the teams to encourage them to think BIG.
The final product is a visual documentation of your team's understanding and awareness of the theme they have selected and the process through which they went.
Variations: Can be done with mixed media including found objects (recycle, reuse). Goal: Separate parts that add up to one vision! The Big Picture!
