Here's an exercise I have used for that purpose and it's online at http://slincs.coe.utk.edu/gtelab/learning_activities/20evej.html
It is in the Workforce Education Special Collection in the Learning Activities Bank (LAB) and the front page for the LAB is at http://slincs.coe.utk.edu/gtelab/ There are over 60 activities in the LAB, but this is the best one for teambuilding.

You could try an activity from Dave Meier's book, "The Accelerated Learning Handbook," page 86.
In a large room or open area, have them build the system or process you want them to be creative about on the floor with tape, string, paper and cardboard signs. The goal is both understanding the process or system and energizing team creativity. Good luck |

Some of the best team building activities I have used can be found at www.humansyn.com (Human Synergistics International). Well worth the money! |

I don't remember the source, but one really good one was the survival exercise, where you're in a plane crash in the cold snowy mountains, and you prioritize the importance of the twenty-something items (tools, bags, rope, etc.) as far as what's most important to survival, then compete to see which team's answers are closest to the ones given by survival experts.
It's fun, but also more immune to the super-cynics, (the people who think EVERYTHING is stupid and pointless, and sit in the back of the room complaining the whole time) who are part of every group.. even they will get drawn into this exercise and participate. As a related question... I've always wondered... What is the copyright status of doing these exercises? I always wondered, whenever someone would come along and conduct these exercises with photocopies of things out of books, etc...
