Team Building Activity: Claim Your Country

Overview:
A creative and interactive team-building activity where participants design their own fictional country, encouraging collaboration, innovation, and respectful negotiation among teammates.

Time: 30 minutes

Tools/Items Required:
Flip chart paper, markers, optional props or printed flags/maps (for added creativity).

Directions & Setup:

  1. Split the whole group into small teams (3–6 members per team).
  2. Present the scenario: Each team has inherited a large, unclaimed piece of land near Alaska. It is now a new country.
  3. Each team must collaborate to define the characteristics of their new nation, including:
  • Country name
  • Constitution or core values
  • Language of the inhabitants
  • Monetary system
  • System of government
  • Main commodities/resources
  • Military structure
  • National bird or flower
  • Give teams 30 minutes to prepare a short presentation.
  • Each team presents their country to the group.
  • Discussion & Debrief:

    Use the following questions to lead a reflective discussion after the presentations:

    • How did your team make decisions?
    • Did you face disagreements? How were they resolved?
    • How did you handle differences in values or perspectives?
    • What was the most creative or unexpected part of the process?
    • What can this activity teach us about diversity, inclusion, and teamwork in real-life scenarios?

    Alternative Activity 1: Build a Team Culture

    Overview: Teams are tasked with designing their ideal workplace culture. They must define shared values, work norms, rituals, onboarding practices, and ways to celebrate success. This activity promotes alignment, creativity, and mutual understanding.

    Setup: Similar team sizes, 30-minute brainstorm, flip chart for presenting. Wrap up with a comparison of team cultures and insights on how workplace cultures evolve and impact performance.

    Alternative Activity 2: Global Summit Simulation

    Overview: Teams represent different fictional countries preparing for a global summit. Each team chooses an agenda (e.g., climate, trade, or peace) and prepares a brief policy to present. This activity encourages collaboration, strategy, and negotiation skills.

    Setup: Assign each team a fictional country name and global challenge. Give them 20 minutes to prepare and 2–3 minutes per team to present. Follow with a debate-style discussion to simulate international cooperation.
