Among the team-building activities: "Leading the Crowd Playfully" (to break the ice), "Tag Team Climbing" (to improve cooperation) and "Kneeling Basketball" (to learn to deal with downsizing, perhaps?). But will morale really improve if the 9-to-5 crowd spends a little time bouncing around--in socks, in full view of the boss...
