Here are some examples of a local community about, Austin Ranch, and some of their team building event ideas.  

The Funny Farm

Team members are divided into hillbilly families. Families will then choose their name such as Hatfields, McCoys, Dukes, etc. Each family member will also create and maintain a character for themselves such as Cuzin’ Billy Bob, Aunt Rotunda, Ma, Pa and Baby etc. The hillbilly family will race against the clock to shuck corn, make dumplins, tip cows, pluck rubber chickens, gather wood for the fire, stomp grapes and more! This is a true family affair and fun for all! Great for a lighthearted event.

The Iron Chef Competition

This is one of our most popular team builders. There is nothing like the aroma of good food wafting in the air. It smells like-VICTORY! Your teams will don chef hats and basting brushes to create amazing dishes that will become the dinner later on in the evening. Each team will be paired with an award winning chef for the competition. An independent panel of judges will call winners based on marketing, presentation, creativity and of course great Texas flavor! 

Texas Chili Cook off

We take our chili very seriously here at Austin Ranch. After all, it is the Texas state dish. We have the perfect ingredients for success; chilies, spices, beef and fun. We bring the fire, pots, pans and your team brings the competitive spirit for the perfect bowl of Texas Red. 

Cowboy Camp

Golf Cart Polo - Golfing cowboy style! Teams of two (a malleteer and a driver), blaze a trail across our rodeo arena in an attempt to whack a polo ball into the opponent’s open-ended barrel. SCORE! Cattle Paint Branding – Branding takes on a whole new meaning when you have a Texas steer staring at you eyeball to eyeball. This activity gives your group a chance to brand a live steer. Not with a hot branding iron of course, but with paint and a brand. Rodeo Games – 5 man stick horse barrel racing will have you laughing until your sides hurt! Rope a Dope will teach newbie wranglers how to rope a calf with instruction by a professional, even if it is a hay bale with a calf’s head attached. These games are great for the team that likes to get down and dirty in a Texas way. 

Bubba Games

To build a team in Texas you need the creativity of Tex Schramm, the patience of Tom Landry and the fun loving spirit of Dandy Don Meredith. We have put together a Totally Texas Team Building Exercise for theme parties or visiting Yankees, with real Texas-sized fun built in to every challenge. Redneck Horseshoes, Cow Pattie Shuffleboard, Raise the Barn, Jailbreak, Snuffleboard, What the Hay! A total of fifteen backyard Bubba Games to choose from! 

Silent Movie

Nothing can compare to a good old western movie with an all-star cast which consists of your employees! Teams will select characters and a director to produce a silent film. Our professional camera man will capture the footage. Actors will be provided with a plethora of costumes and props to fit their characters. Scripts are pre-written, but can be altered at will when a professional editor comes in for the sub-titles. Western Celebrity Look-a-Like Judges will decide the winner when movies are shown over dinner. 

Intense Team Building

For those organizations that are looking for a life changing experience for their employees, we offer Firewalking, Broken Glass Walk, Board Breaking, Cowboy Paintball and more. These activities are certainly for those that want to see real results! We promise you will!
