Cook Up
People have been bonding and getting to know each other over food for centuries. So for an alternative to more common team activities, get your colleagues or clients having fun in the kitchen. We simply crank up the BBQ and woks, or get more serious and whisk your team into shape. Your group will enjoy themselves either way, working together to learn new skills they can use every day.
Why is cooking fun for teams? Team cooking requires plenty of talking and interaction, making it a great kick-off for any conference, a 'lively' add-on to a workshop, or for client entertaining.
* The 'kitchen' can be anywhere, even the bush or beach! We'll set up tables, woks and BBQs.
* There's a wonderful incentive and immediate reward, and a great meal at the end!
* Cooking is the ultimate 'feel good' activity, creating a sense of imagination, warmth and positivity.
* Everyone can do it, regardless of their age, gender or fitness, they can all feel fantastic in a kitchen. Even self-proclaimed 'water burners' get excited about rolling slick and speedy wontons!
Your team will chop, slice, peel, sizzle and cook the meals, with some help and tips from us. they will help set the table, pour the drinks and present the food you've just 'whipped' up, then "joy oh joy", eat all of your hard work and discuss what you've learnt or just have a laugh.
Firstly, we whet your appetite with some nibbles. Then your chef creates an up-beat atmosphere guaranteed to get everyone smiling and together you'll run through each recipe, bringing it to life with a brief history and cultural background of the ingredients.
How will your team benefit? They will discover there are less barriers to communication and recognise that no task is so trivial not be important. Finally, they will learn to make allowances for, and accept different work styles.
