Custom Flags for Team Building Events

Need to organize a team building event? Why not throw a flag party to foster that team work and camaraderie. Nothing beats feeling like a unit when you are standing under your own custom flag. So how does it work?

First, organize the group into teams. Arrange for a short get to know you activity or ice breaker, so team members will get to know each other better. Then let teams build their own custom flag. They can choose a design that will represent a certain value or work ethic that they would like to embody. Additional themes, such as having them choose an animal or giving them an assigned color will can also be done.  Make sure that the custom flags are of the same size. Facilitators will then judge the best flag from the group, and winning teams will be assigned points.

After the flags are done, have the teams do a flag racing contest. This can be done in the form of a straightforward race to get a flag up a pole, or a relay. First team to get their flag flying also earns more points. Additional activities can involve a cheer underneath their own custom flags.

To encourage more teamwork and competitive drive, the groups can play capture the flag. Teams will have to go head to head in playing the game, and a single knock out system can be used if ever there are several teams in play. Teams will hide their custom flags in a predetermined “territory”, and will try to capture the flag from the other team’s space.

A player can get tagged when in the other team’s zone, and will have to spend time out of the game or in “jail”. A team wins when the custom flag is captured and brought back to base. Points can also be awarded for the game.

Refreshments can be served and a short awarding ceremony can be done. When you get back at the office, hang the custom flags on the office walls to remind the team of the time spent together. You can even have a custom flag maker print a more sturdy and permanent version of the custom flag.

Anatomy of a Flag Pole

Every school has one, every government office also features one. The flag pole is a regular fixture in our buildings and campuses, but let’s take a closer look at this ubiquitous piece. Simply defined, a flag pole or staff is where a flag is displayed or flown. The more strict vexillologists (people who study and collect flags) would use the term staff, and if at sea, a mast.

The actual pole or staff is topped by a truck, which is a wooden block or metal plate which is was originally meant to prevent the pole from splitting. This is where the pulley or the sheave for the flag’s ropes to be attached are. Sometimes this is confused with the finial, which is a decorative carved or cast ornament which is placed at the top of the pole. Most often the finial is a simple ball, but can be a cross, a crown, a spearhead or a crescent.

Custom flags are raised and lowered by means of a rope, more accurately called a halyard. Flags have a hoist line, or a piece of rope sewn into the flag, by means of which the flag is bent on the halyard. Inglefield clips attach the actual flag to the halyard, and these clips feature an eye and a double tapered gap in the beak, and are attached to the ends of the halyards. The other clip is attached to the hoist line, and the clips make for easy and rapid hoisting.

Flagpoles often have the most flag accessories and hardware, and their stability and durability is needed to make sure that the flags they proudly fly are displayed properly.
