Quintessentially English

Some team building events are always go-go-go, all day long. How about a change of pace and give everyone a more laid back atmosphere with the ultimate English garden party? This idea is perfect for those team building events where you want everyone to relax. Everyone will have a chance to partake of such traditional English garden party activities like badminton, croquet, and lawn bowling.

Here are just a few of the many options that are in store for you if you choose this English garden party theme:

Colossal Chess - Chess is a game of strategy and mental hoop jumping. Can you outwit your opponent on this life size chess board? Consider opting for speed chess which pushes you to think on your feet quickly. Add a few players to make things more interesting.

Badminton - A light version of tennis, badminton uses lighter racquets, a birdie instead of a ball and the birdie must remain airborne. You can play one on one or in a doubles setting and earn points.

Charming Croquet - A perfect game for a pretty manicured lawn, you must have some precision skills to accurately hit your wooden ball through a hoop with a wooden mallet. Knock out your competition literally and score.

Oversized Connect 4 - This childhood game favorite has hit the big time literally with adults. This life size game requires some skill and strategy to block opponents from getting four pieces in a row either across, down or diagonally.

Lawn Bowling - While it is not quite like the clacking and pounding sounds of a wooden alley, lawn bowling has its challenges. The rules are not quite the same but you need the same skills - roll your ball and knock over pins.

Kid Games Come to Life - There are a number of kid games besides Connect 4 that has hit the gigantic scene. Consider choosing a giant Jenga game or even Snakes and Ladders. Twister has also been known to elicit a few laughs too.
