Subject: What's the best team building exercise you've done (planning a large work retreat)
Big day of volunteering (probably will need to split into groups for different projects) followed by a BBQ. And have alcohol. Split groups/departments up into different servicer projects so they meet new people. 200 is too big to do those other activities - it will feel forced.

+1. This actual is a team build that IS worth it. Kids come in, thinking they are there to help, and they wins up getting the bikes at the end. I know Destination Paradise out if Annapolis does this ( no, not me).
+1 My company did this-- it was wonderful. You're building something as a team but it has an actual purpose. Having the kids there is amazing.
How do we do this?? What's the group??

+1. Team building activities are horrible, everyone hates them and they don't do any good. Sorry but true.
Ditto. These thing are childish and a waste of time and money.

I've heard great things about the Marshmallow Challenge (build a tower with Spaghetti and Marshmallow) that they've done the TED talk about but a large chunk of the attendees have already done it. Anyone have other ideas?
200 people is not a "team." What's the point?
I missed that point earlier. 200 is too many.
