BUILDING A POWERFUL TEAM: 10 HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES Team building exercises can be very useful in helping a team bond. They encourage the team to work together, promote creative thinking, and foster team spirit. Use the following exercises to help your team come together. 1. Truth or Lie? Goal: To help team members get to know one another Give each person on your team a sheet of paper. Have each person write down two things that are true and one lie about themselves. The lie should be believable. The goal is to make it hard to distinguish between the truths and the lie. Go around the room and have each person read their statements.
