Going for Gold

A Northgate Training Game

Ideal for training course, conference or seminar.

An icebreaker or energiser based on the Olympic Games.

Going for Gold Game PhotoThis training activity includes some challenging questions, some creativity and a card-based challenge that requires logical thinking and a good team process.

Teams start with 20 questions about the Olympic Games and hand in their best answers to receive a set of cards.

Half these cards contain the (mythical) names of cities that might host the Olympic Games; the other half gives clues that help the team eliminate all the cities except one.

Teams then design an advertising poster for the city which must include a new Olympic sport of their choice! All this against a tight deadline. The questions, the city and the poster are then scored to see who wins the gold medals! (Five winners medals are included in the pack.)
    
Teams start with 20 questions about the Olympic Games and hand in their best answers to receive a set of cards.

Ice breaker or Energiser

Going for Gold is a lighthearted, energetic activity for use with any level of team within your organisation.

Ideal on team development programmes, this challenge creates high energy for a morning kick-off, an after lunch pick-me-up, or to consolidate the day – with delegates leaving on a high.

Teamwork

This training activity raises a fund of issues for debate and improved team performance:

  • team organisation
  • valuing each team member
  • behavioural traits
  • time planning
  • quality issues
  • good decision-making
  • creativity
  • team morale.

Comments from Users of this Team Building Game

“Transformed a group of rather nervous, quiet participants who didn't know each other into energetic, motivated teams. It very quickly got us working together – great fun – very topical!”
“I used this activity as an energiser to a Team Strategy Day with a group of senior managers. It was engaging and ideal for looking at how a team/group work together.”

“The general feedback on our conference was ‘one of the best yet!’ I think that using starting the day with the Crime Squad really helped relax people into the day and I think they all found the Hotel exercise both challenging and rewarding and having you run the afternoon enabled us to see how the delegates actually worked together. Thanks to you and your team for helping make our conference a success.
The challenge for us is now to come up with something different for next year so any suggestions would be appreciated.”C. Garrett – Selwood
