What is the difference between a getting to know you game and a team building game?
The audience: a getting to know you game is usually for groups of people who do not know each other and team building games are always played by groups of people who already know each other really well
The occasion: team building games are used for work retreats and sports teams, but getting to know you games can be played at school or with friends or at a party
The purpose: getting to know you games help people learn more about the other players and their background or interests while team building games strive to have people learn how to work well together using each person's skills
All of the above are accurate differences between these game types
Read the game description and determine which type of game it is:
For this game, the players will all pick a number between one and one hundred. When the number is called out, they have to run into the center of the circle. If there is more than one person, they will have a thumb war. If there is only one person, they must do a tik tok dance move while saying their name. When the move is done, everyone must repeat the move & say their name. Then, the next number is called.
