Party with a Purpose: Philanthropic Holiday Events

TeamBuilding Unlimited is in the throws of holiday parties! Yes, our season begins on November 30 with a Trikes for Tots event. What a great corporate event.

In addition to Trikes for Tots, TeamBuilding Unlimited helps your team with many different Charity Challenges. Bears that Care, Murals, Operation Military Giving, Backpacks for Kids and so many more. One of my favorites is Rocking Horses. Not only does your team assemble high quality rocking horses, but they get to paint and decorate the horses.

For our next Rocking Horse Charity Challenge, the corporate teams will donate 10 rocking horses to Family/Child Centers in the North Bay. Sometimes the Rocking Horses are donated to Hospitals or Firestations or Toys for Tots. Whereever they go, the rocking horses are always appreciated, and your teams' efforts and creativity are enhanced by philanthropy and social responsibility.

What a great holiday season.

MULLED WINE CHALLENGE: TeamBuilding for Your Holiday Party

Spice up your Holiday Party with a “warm” team-building event: The Mulled Wine Challenge. Mulled wine, the vine’s version of a classic hot toddy, is a traditional holiday beverage around the world.

TeamBuilding Unlimited will lead your party-goers in a Mulled Wine Challenge. Teams will make a very special holiday drink that includes Red Wine, other ‘potent’ beverages, holiday spices, oranges and other fruits, cloves, cinnamon and lots of other "secret" ingredients. Teams will be instructed in the basics of Mulled Wine before the culinary portion, but each team will rely on its own creativity to make the very best!

Our Facilitator will describe the history of Mulled Wine, a European holiday drink that takes different incarnations in different countries. Teams will be challenged to a trivia quiz to see how much information they have retained—and also to allow the winning teams to have an advantage of picking their ingredients first in the challenge portion.

This TeamBuilding Unlimited Mulled Wine Challenge will tantalize your taste buds while challenging your knowledge and creativity.

In addition to mixing and cooking lemons and lots of other fruits with wine, other beverages and "secret" ingredients, each team will develop a marketing plan for their drink, a new logo and slogan, a name for "their" winery and their specific holiday warm mulled wine and so much more!

Our knowledgeable facilitator will educate the group on the history of Mulled Wine. The final test, though, is up to your group! Start the holidays with this delicious event!

This is the perfect mixology team-building event!

The Chocolate Challenge: Sweet TeamBuilding

I admit it. I'm a chocoholic. So it's no surprise that TeamBuilding Unlimited has a host of Chocolate Teambuilding activities. One of my favorites is the Chocolate Challenge! Teams are challenged to build a structure completely of Chocolate. How sweet is that?

The Challenge: Each event is 'structured' and customized for the client. Recently a group's goal was To Build New Offices out of Chocolate Products (M&Ms, Hershey Bars, Chocolate Graham Crackers and a lot more). A model, of course, but oh so sweet.

The finished office model had to stand up on its own and, except for the white cardboard base. It had to be completely edible. Teams were given time to design and build, and then they had to present the results. Half the fun was explaining why they built what they built and how they built it.

What a fun event! Did I mention that some teams' supplies of chocolate dwindled before construction? What a surprise!

Want a twist on this during the holidays.. Add chocolate to our Gingerbread House Building Competition. You can never have enough chocolate.

I never get tired of chocolate. Have a look at my blog, DyingforChocolate.com.

American Team Idol: Team Sensation

TeamBuilding Unlimited created and facilitated a sensational evening for an R&D company last night: American Team Idol.

American Team Idol is an incredible interactive event. Teams were given various melodies to choose from and then each team wrote a song about their group, their company, and their meeting. Everyone participated with people making choices about lead singer, back-up singers, costumes and dancers. Our trained facilitators and keyboardist guided the teams through the process, but it was their own creativity and spirit that made for some stellar performances.

TeamBuilding Unlimited, a division of Murder on the Menu, will bring this great activity to your next meeting, conference or special event. Teams compete to win prizes in several categories. Points are given for lyrics, style, and creativity.

TeamBuilding Unlimited/Murder on the Menu provides M.C., Judges, choreographer and a keyboardist to accompany the teams. This is rollicking fun and a great teambonding experience that can take place in the middle of a meeting, during dinner or just about whenever and wherever you choose.

Sangria Challenge: Wine Team Building

The Sangria Challenge is the perfect team building activity to do towards the end of a day of heavy meetings... or it's great to begin the evening before or after a terrific dinner!

TeamBuilding Unlimited will challenge your teams to make a very special alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink that includes White and Red Wine and lots of other "secret" ingredients. Teams are 'instructed' in the basics of wine and Sangria before they begin to mix up their taste sensations. They are challenged to a trivia quiz to see how much information they have retained—but also to allow the winning teams to have the advantage of picking their ingredients first (the challenge portion).

This TeamBuilding Unlimited Sangria Challenge will tantalize your taste buds while challenging your knowledge and creativity. In addition to mixing lemons and lots of other fruits with wine and bubbly water and other "secret" ingredients, each team will develop a marketing plan for their drink, a new logo and slogan, a name for "their" winery and their specific sangria drink and so much more!

This is the perfect mixology team-building event!
