Think outside the box for your next corporate catch-up with these fun team building activities in Brisbane. While group activities like icebreakers and team games are common, there are so many creative and mindful ways to promote better connections between your coworkers.

For example, coming up with corporate events ideas for a group of 20 extroverts will look very different to the team building ideas best suited to a small group of people with introverted tendencies. What’s more, practical limitations need to be considered, especially if you have a remote or hybrid work policy.

From drawing basics to flower arranging and even pizza making, these unique team activities in Brisbane will enable your team to reconnect, unwind and enjoy a moment of lighthearted fun with their colleagues. Ready to see your team smile? Let’s take a look at some of the best group activities in Brisbane to try in 2024.
