{{team_size}}: approximate number of participants.
{{objective}}: the primary goal, such as improving communication, problem-solving, or bonding.
{{constraints}}: any limitations like budget, time, or virtual-only settings.

Instructions

Based on the provided context, generate 3–5 tailored team-building activities that align with the objective.
For each activity, include a brief description, estimated duration, materials needed, and step-by-step instructions.
Ensure activities are inclusive, respect diverse backgrounds, and are suitable for the given team type and size.
Suggest variations for remote or hybrid teams if applicable.
