Types of Team building activities:
Paper-Based:
For paper based activities you can either have disaster planning activities or logistics planning activities.
For example a SWAT team discussing about how to extractna certain target from a secure place. The table top activity is effective as you can make detailed plans in a safe area and as there could be lives at risk they would take a very careful and detailed look at the situation while planning.
