Building strong group bonds and a sense of team accomplishment while having a blast is what Beach Bonanza is all about. Teams are created during fun, and sometimes eye-opening icebreaker exercises, and a briefing is held by our staff with each team to explain all the rules and safety regulations. Then the games begin under the supervision of our uniformed referees ready to call all the action and keep all the scores. (Okay, we know you're not athletes from the Olympics, but on the beach, wits are more important than brawn.)

You will be amazed as the competitive team spirit builds with each event. The scoring is structured such that the outcome is usually not decided until the last event is complete. A tie breaker system is instituted for tie situations.

Each event fosters teamwork, communication, and creativity rather than just physical ability. The Bonanza begin with an opening ceremony consisting of a few ice-breaking games that will eventually lead to the development of teams within the Bonanza.

ICEBREAKERS

• The Dot Race aka "The Inquisition" - Participants stand on a large circle of numbered dots, and one person is chosen to be the first Inquisitioner. Participants race around the circle based on questions asked by the Inquisitioner, and the person left standing, after all the abandoned dots are re-filled, gets to be the new Inquisitioner. This exercise helps participants recognize the other members of their team as individuals.
• Like Falling Off a Log - Participants are asked to stand on a log single file. They then must rearrange themselves in the order of their birthday without falling off the log. This exercise helps participants identify the true leaders of their group.

EXERCISES

Some exercises require agility, some athleticism, and some are better performed by using your head.

• Beach Basketball - Player wearing blacked out snorkel mask tosses small beach balls toward a large basket suspended by strings being held by teammates.
• Coconut Bowling - Large hula-hoops are place on the ground and coconuts are rolled from a distance and must stop inside hoops without knocking over bottles placed at the back of each hula-hoop.
• Coconut Croquet - Coconuts are hung from a nylon sock hanging around the participant's waist and must be swung back and forth to hit additional coconuts along the ground through a series of bottle flags.
• Hula Hoop Curling - Hula-hoops are skillfully rolled along ground and must fall around clusters of bottles.
• Delicate Balance - Participants are aligned balancing on logs placed parallel with logs aligned with other teams. Each team member holds a rope connected to at least one person from another team. Teams are encouraged to balance on their own logs while trying to unbalance members of the other teams.
• Bucket Brigade - Team members are asked to fill a 5-gallon bucket with ocean water using only a cup with holes.
• Obstacle Course - This course is like a "dizzy-bat-race," mini-golf, and a crossword puzzle all rolled into one.
• Coco-NUTS - Teams organize themselves into circles and race to see which team can make a coconut travel from person to person around the entire group the fastest. Of course, a few obstacles are thrown in along the way.
• Dot Circuits - Team members must touch a series of numbers placed randomly on the sand in order from least to greatest.
• Sand Skis - Teams must race on long skis as a team in order to cross the finish line first.

At the conclusion of the final exercise, the teams are recombined to form one group again, and they are asked to go back through each exercise again (with two to three times as many people on the team,) IN 1/2 THE TIME! Once the team members start thinking "outside the box," the exercises take on a whole new light.
