Get your Team Building Event to Take Off with Water Rokit!

When it comes to team building, there are many types of events to choose from but a brilliantly engaging and educational one (that’s also the best fun) is a Water Rokit activity day. These simple rockets – powered by water and compressed air – offer an unusual way to foster teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills. In this blog, I’ll talk about how incorporating water rockets into your team building activities can make it out of this world!

Collaboration and Communication

Collaboration and communication are really important in team building. Putting your Water Rokit together, and launching it successfully, needs people to work together, with good communication being vital. As a hands-on experience, working to get your Water Rokit the highest, or to keep your payload ‘alive’, encourages active listening, and helps team members to share their thoughts clearly, which is crucial for successful teamwork.

Problem Solving

Problem solving is involved in building and launching your Water Rokits, as teams must consider factors such as aerodynamics, weight distribution and stability to make the most of the rocket’s performance. This process can encourage group brainstorming and get your teams to explore different ways to do things. Making adjustments as and when needed. Working together.

Risk Assessment and Decision Making

Risk assessment and decision making are both factors of a successful Water Rokit launch. During the construction and launching process, teams face potential risks, including water leakage, structural instability or unsuccessful launches. Evaluating and mitigating these risks is crucial for a successful mission. Teams also have to be mindful of personal safety as the Water Rokit fires up at speed, with a powerful force, so participants need to be aware of safe boundaries. It gives teams a chance to take calculated risks and learn from their mistakes.

Team Building with Water Rokits

A Water Rokit activity day is a really exciting activity for team bonding – collaborating a brilliant launch, experiencing the highs and lows (including failed launches) together, gets the team really going. The jaw dropping heights a Water Rokit can reach is incredible. The shared memories create a positive team spirit that can carry over into the workplace. There is a reason we say “you will always remember the day you flew your first Water Rokit!”

We were thrilled when a customer recently purchased some Water Rokits for a company team building exercise, during Mental Health Awareness Week. He had been recommended them by his wife, who works with one of our partners, Barracudas Activity Day Camps, where she had witnessed the success and enjoyment of the groups of children collaborating in teams and bonding over the success of the launches.
