Young or old, there will surely be a role for each player in Combat Archery! Identify suitable roles for each team player by assessing your strengths and weaknesses.

This is one of the activities to do in Singapore that provides a great opportunity for a wide spectrum of ages to interact with each other more outside of the workplace. If you want your team to feel more comfortable with each other, play this as one of your icebreaker games.
