Activity Option 3 – Wellness & Wellbeing Event :-Super Smoothie Making, Tai Chi & Laughing Yoga

Super Smoothie Making CompetitionA highly interactive, imaginative and informative

Using an imaginative range of ingredients, participants are encouraged to analyse their Company Brand identity and generate creative recipe ideas which reflect its key properties. (An alternative scenario is for teams to design a smoothie for an internal customer group, which could correspond to different departments within the organisation).

The teams then take up their positions and get to work on creating their smoothie within a tight time limit. Once they have experimented with their ingredients and made and decorated their drink, they must prepare a short 2-3 minute presentation explaining their choice of recipe and their rationale.If this activity is positioned as a competition, we would recommend having a panel of “judges” or representatives from the client’s organisation to assess the teams’ performance (for example, in terms of “brand/ customer fit”, taste, appearance and presentation quality).

Our service includes all the planning, key equipment, ingredients, materials and event management required to deliver the activity, specifically:• Tailoring of the session to your brief• 2 members of “Smoothie” staff on the day (1 facilitator, 1 assistant)• All drinks making equipment required• Small self-contained sink (depending on access to kitchen facilities)• A wide range of ingredients to make the drinks• Materials (glassware, cups, labels, straws, napkins etc.)• Staff travel, accommodation and subsistence (where required)• Set up and pack up• Event preparation and project management


Tai Chi WorkshopTai Chi is a relaxing and educational activity, teaching stress management skills that are applicable to everyday life, and demonstrating effective techniques for relaxation and mindfulness. It is also a spiritual practice inspired by martial arts, with tenets based on the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism: the natural balance in all things; the yin and yang. The mental aspects of the movements have parallels to meditation, and they’re suitable for everybody.

Tai Chi Chuan was born in China around the twelfth century. It is a mixture of Taoist knowledge (a tradition dating back 4000 years) and martial arts of the Wu Dang and Shaolin temple.

Some games are a pure gamble, such as the Roulette wheel and higher or lower, but others will require teamwork to earn as much money as possible. We

provide personalised Fun Money, bespoke to your event, that all the contestants will compete with.

Your group would be split into 10 teams to take part in at least 10 different activities. Samples of the activities are shown on this page. We will provide more than enough

activities for the teams to compete at, be it testing their logic, their physical skills, or how they work together as pairs.
