Boomwhackers Team Building
A high-energy musical team building experience where teams use colourful Boomwhacker tubes to create rhythm, music, and synchronised performances together. No musical talent required — just enthusiasm and a willingness to make some noise. Available UK-wide for groups of 10 to 5,000.
Create Music Together — The UK's Most Energising Corporate Team Building Experience
Boomwhackers is one of Event Collection's most exciting and inclusive team building activities. Using colourful, lightweight plastic tubes — each tuned to a different musical note — your team will go from complete beginners to performing a synchronised musical piece together in just one session.
The magic of Boomwhackers is that it's impossible to create the music alone. Every single person plays a vital role — miss one note and the whole piece falls apart. This makes it one of the most powerful metaphors for teamwork available: your team literally cannot succeed without every member contributing.
Our professional musical facilitator guides the group through warm-up exercises, rhythm challenges, and progressively complex arrangements. The energy builds throughout the session, culminating in a spectacular full-group performance that genuinely gives participants goosebumps.
Why Boomwhackers Works for Corporate Team Building
Boomwhackers develops active listening, timing, coordination, and the ability to work as part of a larger team towards a shared goal. The shared experience of creating music together builds trust, psychological safety, and a genuine sense of collective achievement that carries back into the workplace. We deliver Boomwhackers across the UK including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London.
How Boomwhackers Works
From first tap to full performance in one unforgettable session
Learn the Rhythm
Our professional facilitator introduces the Boomwhacker tubes and teaches basic rhythms. Within minutes, the room is alive with colour and sound as everyone finds their groove.
Build the Arrangement
Teams learn their individual parts and begin layering them together. The complexity builds gradually — each new layer adds depth and energy to the growing musical piece.
The Grand Performance
The session culminates in a spectacular full-group performance. Every person plays their part, every note matters — the result is genuinely spine-tingling and unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Boomwhackers?
Boomwhackers are lightweight, hollow, colour-coded plastic tubes — each tuned to a different musical note. When struck against a surface (or each other), they produce a clear, resonant tone. No musical experience is needed — if you can tap a tube, you can play!
Do participants need any musical experience?
Absolutely not! Boomwhackers is designed for complete beginners. Our professional musical facilitator guides every team step by step. The beauty of Boomwhackers is that anyone can contribute from the very first minute — regardless of musical ability.
How many people can take part in Boomwhackers?
Boomwhackers works brilliantly for groups of 10 to 5,000 people. It's one of our most scalable activities — the more people involved, the more impressive the final performance becomes. It works equally well for small leadership teams and large company-wide events.
How long does a Boomwhackers event last?
A typical Boomwhackers session runs for 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your group size and schedule. We can tailor the format to fit as a standalone team building event, a conference energiser, or part of a larger corporate day.
What skills does Boomwhackers develop?
Boomwhackers develops active listening, timing, coordination, communication, and the ability to work as part of a larger team towards a shared goal. The experience of creating music together also builds psychological safety, trust, and a genuine sense of collective achievement.
