Team building exercise on day one of orientation with a group of 45?
I am conducting an orientation for new employees to a brand new restaurant. I need a team building/ ice breaker for them to do at the end of the day today. It is for a restaurant and the median age is about 30 for these people. Today is just basic…. handbook, expectations, etc. Please any ideas would be great!
In a restaurant, get teams of 3 or 4 people and give them a list of ingredients, no recipe.
Tell them to create a masterpiece out of it.

Also I heard a rumor that the Harvard Business Review has an article on Toyota toting team building and that there was new data coming out disputing Toyota’s claims. However I can not find it, do I have the wrong website, search terms?
