Teambuilding Songs

Which teambuilding songs are the best?

One of our favourite and most popular team building events is our Rock and Roll Choir. And because we deliver so many of these we have a large list of teambuilding songs that we know work very well.

Singing is a great team building activity because it is inherently uplifting and leaves everybody feeling happy and

 positive. 

Buiulding bonds between team members, improving communication, learning to work together and feeling happy are all core factors that people look for when delivering a team building event,

The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

If you are thinking about using a singing team building session then you might want to know which teambuilding songs are the most effective.

There are a few aspects you need to consider to create the right atmosphere for your team building event. Things that could ruin the event include:

• Slow tempo
• Depressing lyrics
• Melancholic music

But fear not becuase we have over 100 years of recorded music to choose from so there are many teambuilding songs that tick all the boxes.

What else should I think about when choosing teambuilding songs?

You should also consider the lyrical message of the song. The music might sound uflifting but the lyrics might actually carry a very negative message which undermines the event.

We often use songs that we know work incredibly well as teambuilding songs such as the Joe Cocker version of ‘I get by with a little help with my friends’ becuase it carrys a great message. But other times we will use a song specifically for one event becuase it carries a certain message that matches that company’s ethos or the theme of their event.

Below shows an event we provided for the famous jewellers Tiffany & Co. and here we used the track ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ for an obvious lyrical tie in.

We also need to consider the nationaily of the audience. If the event includes people from across different countries then we don’t want to choose a teambuilding song that was a niche hit just in England becuase that excludes much of the audience. We want everyone in the room to be familiar with the music already so they quickly get involved with the event.

Of course, when we deliver a singing team building session our facilitators make sure everybody gets involved and engaged from the start. They have high energy, excellent communication skills and great charisma to connect with an audience and make sure it is successful. They are professional performers so they excel in this environment.

One concern that clients often have before booking this event is whether or not their whole audience will buy in to it. It’s a reasonable concern but our experience is that even the staunchest ‘non-singing’ men soon appreciate the benefit of this and get involved from the start.
