Organize A Team-Building Sports Fest For Your Company, Hassel-Free!


ORGANIZE A REAL FUN TEAMBUILDING SPORTSFEST. 

The Traditional Filipino Street Games are  now a favorite Teambuilding Sportsfest Activity among private companies as Magna Kultura makes it a real Fun Mini-Olympics Event.



Filipino corporations enjoy the Larong Pinoy a Mini-Olympics Sport Fest, energizing employees with games that they use to play in their childhood years. It's a great way to build camaraderie.


Over a thousand companies have re-discovered the fun of the Larong Pinoy games, and has organized it as Mini-Olympics event.


Human Resource Managers have testified that a Larong Pinoy Sports Fest is truly a one-of-kind event-activity that leaves lasting impression among employees. It bonds employees like real “magkababata” (i.e., childhood friends). 


For many years, many companies have been organizing popular sports like basketball or volleyball; and usually, only younger employees get to play in the tournaments.  The Filipino Games has become an alternative to implementing the usual Western sports activities.  



Larong Pinoy is an activity where both young and old employees can play and enjoy, (unlike other sports where only the younger generation can play).

 
In Larong Pinoy games, everybody --- young and old --- are able to participate in the games.  Even employees who did not play enjoy the event, cheering and supporting their teams in every game.  The fun is unforgettable.  And best of all, employees who do not know each other become familiar with everyone.

Magna Kultura Foundation is the organizer of the Larong Pinoy company sportsfests. The organization is the national advocate of the Traditional Filipino Street Games.  

Magna Kultura organizes the company sports fests hassle-free for the HRDs: from planning to implementation, with tournament systems & procedures, game manuals with playing rules for each and every Filipino game; and running the games with referees and game marshals. The company’s organizing committee just sat back and relaxed; playing with the rest of their fellow-employees.

Organizing The Teambuilding Mini-Olympics For Employees

Corporate Mini-Olympics Are More Fun With Larong Pinoy.  It's A Team-Building Sports Fest Where Young And Old Employees Can Play.

IT'S FUN. IT'S CHALLENGING. AND IT BREATHES YOUTHFUL BONDING AMONG EMPLOYEES.




In the past, basketball and other ballgames are organized and only a few people to play --- mostly the younger employees. But now, both young and old employees play together with the Traditional Filipino street games in an exciting mini-Olympics format.  And company sports fests come alive. 

 
Human Resource Department staff have discovered the benefits of using the Filipino games as sports fest platform: it does not only bring fun, but creates warm camaraderie among employees --- making them feel like childhood playmates, i.e. "mag-kababata".

Magna Kultura Foundation conducts the sports fest like a real Olympics event, which gives employees the grand feeling of being in a professional arena. 


The games are officiated by referees and marshals using the Official Tournament Rules instituted by Magna Kultura Foundation, the national advocate of the Filipino Games.



In organizing the company sports fest, Magna Kultura partners with the HRD and Sports Committee; internally making the event a team-building activity within the company.  Teams are formed with Team Captains, co-captains and even playing Coaches for each and every game.  Game manuals are provided by Magna Kultura, along with team line-up sheets and other vital tournament materials.



Games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Luksong Tinik, Luksong Lubid, and other Pinoy Games are as challenging as any Western sport.  It requires agility, skills, and strategy.   Employees match players against other department teams.  Even cheer chants are created to rally team spirit.  And, just by being Filipino, makes it more fun.



As employees plan and practice the games, a team-building atmosphere is created inside the offices.   The employee bonding solidly permeates that, even if they don’t win on the day of the event, they become satisfied with the friendship they have built in the process.

PINOY OLYMPICS As Team-Building Sports Fest

 
ORGANIZE A REAL FUN TEAMBUILDING SPORTSFEST
The Traditional Filipino Street Games are now a favorite Teambuilding Sportsfest Activity among companies. 

PALARONG PINOY IS A FUN COMPANY SPORTSFEST


There comes a time when colleagues need to team-away from regular work environment, to rejuvenate and bond in a fun atmosphere.  Because people work hard, we give them time to play hard, and re-bond with their colleagues in an atmosphere of fun and friendly competition. 

There are many activities with great team-building concepts. Other than management-staff workshops, one of the most often used platforms for team-building is SPORTS.  Everybody loves to play games. 

Corporate Olympics is one of the fun activities popularly organized by the Human Resource Departments for employees.   

Corporate sporting events aim to strengthen the bond between employees, while instilling the value of team spirit in a corporate community. In the same note, it hopes to develop the employees’ competitive character and determination to excel.  Teams that play together, work together.

A current, and successful, trend in team building is having teams work together in various Group Dynamics Team Building exercises outside of their normal job duties. 

These can range from working together as a team doing crafts and activities, at times with group activity challenges against other team. Team Building sessions such as this focus on communication, trust, allocating roles, and learning how to work together.

Another often organized activity is corporate excursions.  Employees love to go “outing” and do leisurely activities together with colleagues. Company excursions range from day-tours to beach outings, and usually combined with light team-building activities. It’s all about spending time together. 


Since the 1980’s there have been many new ideas and innovative games. Other than the usual basketball or track and field games, companies have been trying more daring activities, such as “Survival” games and other adventure sports.   

While these games may be challenging to younger employees, there are still many who may not be able to participate in the activities; most especially that the work-force are not up to much physical activities, not to mention the older staff.

Team Building creates a more effective and efficient work-force.  Whatever type of activity the company chooses, more importantly, the rule of thumb is to keep it Fun, Entertaining, Dynamic and Simple.

Magna Kultura Foundation has been implementing arts and cultural programs in schools and city festivals.  In Y2005, Human Resource Departments started calling on Magna Kultura to create customized team-building programs, ranging from visual arts activities, to stage theatre, to kite-making and other crafts workshops.  And for sports oriented companies, they have a selection of different type of fun games.

Since Y2008, many have opted to launch mini-Olympics event using the Traditional Filipino Street Games. The selection of Larong Pinoy as a Sports Fest Activity was intended Human Resource staff to involve employees ---both young and old--- into doing an alternative event instead of the usual western sports.


It is a fact that only a few employees get to play in the usual sports like basketball, volleyball, or other western sports; but with Larong Pinoy everybody can play --- from the executives to staff, down to the clerks and general service employees.  It’s a game everybody knows.  It’s a game everyone can enjoy --- even the non-sporty type. Even those who don’t play enjoy just watching others play. 
 

With Larong Pinoy as sports fest platform, the team bonding goals flows naturally among employees and staff, internally at the office until the day of the event. It becomes the “talk-of-the-town”, everyone remembering childhood memories, making the office alive with youthful camaraderie.

Corporate sports fests  are usually games for only a few employees, and others simply become bystanders who attend because of compliance for attendance. It should not be the case.  In building the company as a CommuniTeam, employees at all levels must be involved in something that everyone can participate in. 

Teambuilding activities are loads of fun, but they can also be tools for strengthening your group.  Sports jargon often crosses over into the business world. The practice is used frequently in the business arena and in the sports world alike and has been credited with creating successful units time and time again.   

Employees "come together as a team" and "go for the win" when tackling an important project. The business owner, the managers, and the Department Heads are likened to team coaches. 

Bear in mind that playing sports can be a good team-building exercise that shows employees and management how to come together in pursuit of a common goal.

Treat your employees to a fun team-building activity, and your company into a CommuniTeam.  

DON’T JUST ORGANIZE A SPORTS FEST FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING EMPLOYEES AN ACTIVITY. IGNITE TEAM SPIRIT, INSPIRE TEAM WORK. ORGANIZE AN EVENT THAT WILL TRULY BE MEMORABLE. A SPORTS FEST THAT WILL BOND EMPLOYEES INTO A REAL COMMUNITY WITH SOLID CAMARADERIE.
