A shared task with a playful finish
Turn a pile of parts into a team achievement.
Open the components, organise your team and get building. Green Machine gives colleagues a practical challenge: combine their skills to assemble a ride-on vehicle that has been selected for an agreed receiving organisation.
There is a role for the organiser, the instruction reader, the hands-on builder and the colleague who notices the details. Thrill facilitators guide the process, introduce team challenges and keep people connected to the purpose behind the build.
The activity suits staff connection days, conference breakouts and corporate giving events. Your group works towards something visible and tangible, with the finished vehicles prepared for the next stage of their journey.
The right vehicle for the right recipient
Trikes for kids. A clear brief for your team.
Green Machine is Thrill’s established charity build activity. Trikes and other ride-on models can feature in the program; your proposal confirms exactly what your team will assemble.
Selection starts with recipient needs, age and size suitability, product instructions, availability and the intended place of use. The photos show examples from past events, not a guarantee that every pictured model will be supplied.
If your intended recipient has specific access or support needs, discuss them with the receiving organisation before choosing the equipment. Standard ride-on toys are not automatically suitable mobility aids or adapted equipment.
Ask for the complete build-and-give scope.
Confirm model, quantity, tools, assembly support, checks, any protective equipment and transport in one proposal. Match the donation to what can be accepted and used.
From team challenge to thoughtful contribution
Six steps to a Green Machine Thrill.
Set the team in motion
Thrill introduces the task and helps colleagues share roles. Short collaborative challenges can encourage people from different departments to work together.
Make every contribution count
Teams organise parts and follow the agreed assembly process with facilitator support. Clear instructions, useful questions and shared responsibility keep the build moving.
Give the details attention
Allow time for assembly checks and corrections. Keep relevant product information with the vehicles and prepare them for the agreed handover.
Recognise the shared achievement
Showcase the completed builds, recognise teamwork and reflect on what helped the group succeed. Any riding element is separately assessed for the model and venue.
Complete the next step
Arrange a suitable presentation, collection or delivery. A charity representative may attend where agreed; children’s attendance is not required for a meaningful event.
One room. Many contributions.
Make your conference a place to build together.
A well-run charity build brings a different rhythm to a corporate agenda. Delegates move from listening to contributing, with small teams working towards one shared purpose.
Give the task context
Connect the activity with your conference theme, introduce the intended contribution and explain the build. A clear start helps every table understand the goal.
Keep people involved
Plan teams around vehicle quantities, workspace and the complexity of the model. Facilitator support and staged demonstrations help groups progress together.
Bring the room back together
Allow time for checks, a showcase and reflection. Collection, packing and transport are planned alongside the participant experience, rather than left until the end.
For larger groups, share delegate numbers, room dimensions and the session window early. Thrill will confirm a suitable facilitator plan, equipment quantities, setup time and venue requirements. Capacity is scoped to your event rather than assumed from a headline number.
Scope your conference ThrillChoose the focus
Three ways to build your Green Machine event.
Build & give
A focused workshop around assembly, participation and a shared contribution. A strong choice for colleagues who want to do something practical together.

Each format is tailored and quoted. The proposal confirms the models, quantities, session length, facilitation and logistics. If you have limited time, let Thrill recommend a realistic activity scope before fixing the number of vehicles.
Useful practice for everyday teamwork
Communication you can see in action.
Make instructions clear
Explain a step, listen to a question and check shared understanding. The build gives teams a concrete task around which to practise useful communication.
Combine different strengths
Organising parts, reading diagrams and assembling components require different contributions. Shared roles help people see the value colleagues bring.
Think beyond finishing
The vehicle has an intended user. Careful work, checks and a thoughtful handover create a practical conversation about quality and responsibility.
For HR and L&D teams, the debrief can connect these observations to a current workplace need. Ask colleagues to identify one behaviour they will try in their next meeting, project or handover.
Playful energy, thoughtfully planned
A celebration that fits your group.
A team showcase, awards or a creative presentation can provide a lively finish. Celebrate helpful communication, attention to detail and cooperation as well as the completed build.
A driving or relay element is optional. Thrill first considers the supplied model’s rider limits, protective equipment, supervision and available space. Adult riding is not assumed simply because participants assembled a children’s vehicle.
Your event can be fully engaging through building and team challenges, with different ways for colleagues to contribute.
From Thrill’s published event history
Real builds. Memorable contributions.
50 Green Machines
Thrill’s existing page describes a Sanctuary Cove event where 50 Green Machine trikes were built for Act for Kids.
20 completed builds
The published account describes Mauri ANZ colleagues assembling 20 Green Machines for children to receive.
A connection with Royal Far West
Thrill’s page also recalls a Manly event supporting Royal Far West, showing how a team activity can connect with a community organisation.
These are historical examples reported by Thrill. Your recipient organisation, vehicle selection and handover arrangements are confirmed separately.
For EAs, PAs, HR and event organisers
A clear plan from setup to handover.
| Share with Thrill | Confirm in your proposal |
|---|---|
| Date, location and participant numbers | Availability, facilitator plan and team structure |
| Session window and venue layout | Working space, setup, demonstrations and pack-down |
| Budget and preferred vehicle quantity | Models, tools, assembly support and checks |
| Preferred cause or charity relationship | Recipient acceptance, collection or delivery |
| Access needs and learning objectives | Participant roles, support and debrief style |
A suitable indoor conference room, workplace or function space can support the assembly activity. Allow room for components, completed vehicles and facilitator access. Any outdoor activity or riding space needs a separate venue assessment.
The donation does not depend on children attending. A representative presentation or later delivery can be the appropriate choice. Agree any photography and stories with the receiving organisation.

Questions before you book
Green Machine team building FAQs
What is Green Machine charity team building?
A facilitated Thrill activity where colleagues assemble agreed trikes or ride-on vehicles for a receiving charity or organisation. It combines practical teamwork with a planned donation.
What type of vehicle will we build?
Your proposal confirms the model and quantity. Selection depends on availability, assembly requirements and recipient suitability. Past-event photographs show examples rather than a fixed catalogue.
Do we need mechanical experience?
No previous experience is required for a suitably scoped build. Thrill provides guidance and practical support. Share access requirements early so appropriate roles and assistance can be planned.
Can this work for a large conference?
Yes, subject to the venue, models, quantities and facilitation plan. Share your delegate count, floor plan and session window so Thrill can scope the event accurately.
Can staff race or ride the vehicles?
Only where separately agreed and suitable for the model, riders and venue. Product limits, supervision and protective equipment must be considered. Riding is not a required part of the build.
Who receives the completed vehicles?
A suitable receiving organisation is agreed before the event. Discuss an existing charity relationship or ask Thrill to explore a connection. Acceptance and recipient suitability guide the selection.
Are these adapted trikes for children with disability?
Not automatically. Standard products should not be described as adapted mobility equipment. Specific recipient needs and product suitability must be agreed with the receiving organisation before selection.
How do we get a quote?
Send your date, location, participant numbers, available time, budget and preferred cause. Thrill will propose suitable vehicle quantities, facilitation, checks and handover logistics.
