Best Team Building Activities in Memphis
Team-building activities aren’t just a fun break from the workday grind – they’re a fabulous way to strengthen your company’s culture, foster camaraderie, and boost morale. These experiences allow coworkers to connect on a personal level, improve communication, and return to the office feeling more united and energized. Whether your team needs a little adventure or a chance to relax and unwind, Memphis offers plenty of opportunities to bring everyone closer together.
Let’s take a look at a few of the cool team building activities the 901 has to offer!
Private Suites at Memphis Redbirds Games
There’s nothing quite like the energy of a baseball game to bring people together. Renting a suite at a Memphis Redbirds game lets your team enjoy the action from the comfort of a private space. From cheering on the home team to sharing snacks and laughs, it’s a memorable way to connect. The Campfire Collective team has done this activity, and it was a hit!
Other opportunities: If basketball is your company’s jam, boy are you in luck! Your coworking group can attend a professional game to catch the Grizzlies, or opt for wearing Tiger blue to root for the University of Memphis (both the men’s and women’s teams are outstanding).
Cooking Classes
A cooking class is a delicious way to bond as a team. Creating a meal together fosters teamwork and creativity, and offers a lovely mix of learning and laughter. The Campfire Collective team participated in Make a Meal, Share a Meal at Church Health and we highly recommend it. As a team, we prepared delicious, healthy meals to feed up to 50 Church Health patients (and got to take a meal home for ourselves!). Church Health also offers Private Classes & Team Building options so you can customize the experience for your group.
Tours of Memphis
With its vibrant history and culture, Memphis has a wide variety of tours that offer plenty of ways for teams to learn, grow, and connect:
Learn more about the musical history of Memphis AND how your teammates feel about rock-n-roll with a guided tour of Sun Studios. Walking through the halls where music legends like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash recorded is both memorable and fun. Our team loved soaking up the history and snapping photos in such an iconic spot.
Don’t miss out on a tour of the National Civil Rights Museum. We went on MLK Day and found it to be thought-provoking, humbling, and inspiring.
Hop on a bus and explore Memphis through the lens of music, history, or local culture with Backbeat Tours. With lively guides and interactive elements, this experience is engaging and perfect for teams looking for a way to learn about the 901 as well as their coworkers.
Dive into the rich and inspiring Black history of Memphis with A Tour of Possibilities. This guided tour showcases landmarks, stories, and achievements, offering a meaningful and enlightening experience for teams looking to deepen their knowledge and perspective.
Memphis Escape Rooms
Put your problem-solving skills to the test as you work together to crack codes, solve puzzles, and beat the clock. Memphis Escape Rooms offer various themed rooms that challenge your team to think creatively and collaborate under pressure. It’s a great way to encourage teamwork while having a blast!
Yoga Classes
Sometimes, the best way to connect is by slowing down. A team yoga class provides a chance to unwind, focus, and find balance together. Whether your team is full of yoga enthusiasts or first-timers, it’s a calming and centering experience. We recommend checking out SANA Yoga – with two locations and several types of classes, your group will have plenty of options!
Shelby Farms Zipline
On the other hand, if your team craves adventure, head to Shelby Farms and take on the Go Ape zipline course. Soaring through the trees and conquering the obstacles together is an exhilarating way to build trust and teamwork while having loads of fun.
Other opportunities
Excitement abounds at Craft Axe Throwing, where colleagues can learn axe throwing together. It's an excellent way to break the ice and have fun!
Volunteer Together
Giving back to the community can be a deep bonding experience for your team. Whether it’s organizing donations at a food bank, cleaning up a park, or supporting a local cause, volunteering fosters a sense of shared purpose and positivity.
Memphis is full of opportunities to connect with your team in meaningful and exciting ways. Whether you’re solving puzzles, swinging through the trees, or cooking up a storm, these activities create lasting memories and stronger bonds.
