Beach Games as a Team-Building Event
Our Beach Games demand strength, endurance, teamwork, sporting spirit, tactical thinking, and dexterity.
Choose from a variety of active competitions on the beach and in the water! For example, the tug-of-war battle calls for raw strength, the sailing regatta requires collaboration and finesse, and the slackline contest tests balance, focus, and determination.
We design a beach challenge for groups starting from 40 and up to 200 participants, combining different tasks and team games. You set the time frame, focus, and difficulty level — we craft an event that lets your team fully engage and prove themselves.
Our outdoor guides personally develop and test all challenges. On site, they lead participants, ensure teams progress together, and keep the schedule on track. If desired, we also integrate targeted team competencies into the event design based on your goals.
Let us know the number of participants, the duration you envision, and the challenge intensity — and we’ll build a bespoke team event on the beach in Italy for you. Our service includes on-site support from Italiaplus staff.

Popular Beach Games and Team Activities
Beach Games offer countless ways to combine fun, movement, and teamwork. Here are some of the most popular activities that can easily be integrated into your team event on the beach in Italy.
Beach Volleyball and Beach Soccer
These classic team sports are perfect for testing your group’s coordination and spirit in a playful way. Competing in small teams strengthens group dynamics and promotes communication, teamwork, and mutual motivation.
Water Balloon Slingshot
This light-hearted challenge is all about teamwork and precision. Teams use a giant slingshot to launch water balloons as far as possible toward a target. To succeed, everyone must work together to load, aim, and release with the perfect technique. This activity guarantees laughter and a refreshing splash while fostering coordination, strategy, and group synergy.
Beach Treasure Hunt
Bring excitement and adventure to your beach event with a treasure hunt in the sand. Teams receive clues, riddles, and coordinates to find a hidden treasure. Working together to decipher hints and locate the prize strengthens communication and problem-solving skills, while the beach setting adds a touch of real adventure.
Cross Golf Challenge on the Beach
This unconventional golf challenge brings sporting fun to the seaside. Teams play golf on sand, with improvised holes or target zones marked directly on the beach. Sandcastles, beach toys, or natural dunes become creative obstacles that make each shot a challenge. This activity enhances precision, skill, and patience, offering a playful and original experience for teams that want to enjoy something truly different.
Relay Race in the Sand
A beach relay race demands not only speed but also coordination and strategy. Participants take turns sprinting through the sand, focusing on timing and teamwork to pass the baton successfully. It’s a great way to get everyone moving and boost energy, motivation, and friendly competition among colleagues.
Slackline by the Sea
Balancing on a slackline at the beach is a fun and challenging test of focus and control. The line is set up between two stable anchors in the sand, and participants try to cross it without falling. This activity promotes balance, concentration, and mutual support, as teammates encourage and cheer each other on. For added excitement, teams can even compete in short balance contests — always with fun and laughter at the forefront.
Sand Sculpture Competition
Unleash creativity and collaboration in a sand sculpture contest. Teams have a set amount of time to create their sculpture, using tools and teamwork to shape their vision in the sand. At the end, all participants vote for their favorite creation. It’s a perfect activity for groups who love to exchange ideas, create together, and let imagination lead the way.
Swimming Relay or Paddle Challenge
For groups who prefer water activities, a swimming relay or paddleboard (SUP) race adds excitement and physical energy. These competitions build endurance, team spirit, and motivation, as participants support one another and push toward a shared goal.
Team Olympics on the Beach
The ultimate format for variety and excitement: a Team Olympics combines multiple games and challenges into one event, where teams compete in different disciplines — from coordination tasks to sports competitions. This format allows every participant to contribute their individual strengths, creating a day full of energy, collaboration, and shared success, concluding with an awards ceremony honoring the winning team.
