Corporate skating parties are a great way to build office camaraderie, congratulate your team for their hard work, and instill a renewed passion for your company in every employee. And what corporate outing would be complete without team building games? Skip the trust falls and awkward get-to-know-you exercises; your whole office will love these roller-skating team building games.

The Possibilities Are Endless . . .

Teach your team to think more creatively about everyday objects. First break into small teams. Hand each team an object, like a notebook or a pool noodle. Each person must demonstrate a creative use for that object. After everyone has had a turn, ask the teams to come up with one last demonstration as a group. The truly inventive teams will incorporate their skates into the exercise!

Overcoming Every Obstacle

We recommend added safety precautions (such as kneepads) for this one. Split your company into teams. You can divide the teams based on department, or mix things up to encourage overall company cohesion. Each team must choose a spokesperson, a skater, and a spotter. The skaters will put on blindfolds (and skating pads, if you have them). Once their eyes are safely covered, the judge will arrange obstacles like traffic cones around the rink. Each team’s spokesperson will coach their skater through the obstacle course, while the spotter skates beside them, ready to intervene in case of trouble. Each intervention means docked points, so the better the communication between the spokesperson and the skater, the better each team will do!

Every Person Counts

Relay races are a classic skating game that teach teamwork skills. Divide into teams, and have each team number off their skaters. This lets each person know when to get into position. Give the first round skaters a baton, and you’re off to the races! After completing a lap of the rink, each skater must pass the baton to the next person on their team. In the end, it will take every skater to win.
