For those who are not comfortable with extended "schmoozing," an alternative to random chatter can help them warm up and get to know others at a gathering. In contrast to most "team building" activities, party games are simply for recreation, and are for any group. A celebration usually doesn't include a reflective discussion about what was learned or how participants experienced it.

And yet because playing can help people feel relaxed with each other, games can strengthen team identity. And, a team enjoying a game on a special occasion later might draw upon that experience to inform their projects or to explore how the skills can be applied to ongoing interactions.
