Check out five recommended team building activities to bring that Olympic spirit to your office. “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting well.” – Pierre de Coubertin, Founder of the Modern Olympics Cooperation. Unity. Fair play. Teamwork. These are just a few of the words that the modern Olympics bring to mind. Throughout the XXXI Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the world witnessed some incredible feats of athleticism. But, as at previous Games, some of the most special moments to watch at Rio 2016 were more about the athletes’ compassion, and devotion to their sport, rather than victory. These were moments of comradery or sportsmanship – qualities that have come to represent the Olympic spirit. In honour of the Games, you can encourage your team to be active, and help inspire the Olympic spirit with outdoor team building activities. By getting employees away from their desks, collaborating, and taking part in friendly competition, you can help your team experience the positive influence of sport. Five active team building activities for your team to do in honour of Rio 2016 As teams compete against each other in dynamic challenges, they will also have the chance to work together in groups and show cooperation, fair play, and teamwork. You can help your group keep the Olympic spirit alive with:   ![five-activities-to-keep-the-olympic-spirit-alive-on-your-team-2](https://www.outbackteambuilding.com/media/photos/five-activities-olympic-spirit1_trwijxw.jpg) 1. [The Amazing Chase](https://www.outbackteambuilding.com/ca/event/amazing-chase/) – In The Amazing Chase, your group can feel like they're taking part in a gamified version of an Olympic race.
