Uplift is a high-energy, laughter-filled team-building icebreaker where coordination, communication, and trust take centre stage. Teams must work together to keep a giant inflatable mirror ball off the ground while navigating a set course — with one tricky twist: no one can move their feet while their hands are in contact with the ball!
What begins as a simple challenge soon becomes a thrilling exercise in teamwork. As participants adjust their strategies and rely on one another for balance and timing, they discover the importance of clear communication, trust, and collective focus. Uplift can be facilitated outdoors or indoors — provided there’s plenty of space and a high enough ceiling.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Through Uplift, participants develop stronger communication skills, learning to convey ideas clearly and effectively even under pressure. The activity fosters trust and collaboration, encouraging team members to rely on one another and provide mutual support.
Teams strengthen coordination and accountability as they align individual strengths toward a shared goal, while also developing adaptability and problem-solving skills to navigate unexpected challenges. Most importantly, participants experience the power of collective success, celebrating achievements together and reinforcing the value of shared effort and collaboration.
