Any sort of icebreaker
Friendly dodgeball or football games
Mini-competitions between small groups of team members (simple engineering challenges like "build the tallest structure using a 8.5x11in piece of paper and 3in of tape")

There are a lot of team building activities at this site. My personal favorite is the human knot, which becomes extremely entertaining if lots of people are involved.

NEMO had a paper once on team building exercises (I think), but I couldn't find it with a quick search. Kathie Kentfield has run great workshops on this - Kathie, can you help here?

You can find lots of excellent team building games/exercises simply by searching google for them. Try search terms like "Team building exercise" "teamwork games" and the like. There's plenty of games out there that range in complexity, time, number of participants, etc.

I do have to say that the 2012 basketballs make a great dodgeball (we got tons from the competition we hosted.)
