Activities Included:
Group Juggling
If inter-departmental communication
and processes are your office bugbear, then opt for ‘Group Juggling’ and
you will soon witness all round improvements back at the work place. ‘Group Juggling’
is an icebreaker and customer service activity that is 100% fun and heightens communication within teams. Group synergy is at the core of this
game and it provides the foundation for participants to learn to work
together and to act as a team.
Knot
A Team
The purpose of this exercise is to bring group members closer together.
Physically they will be close together, and the reality of their interdependence
is played out in this game. Touch creates a setting for cohesiveness and
teamwork, and begins breaking down the invisible walls we have around
us. The tools it will take to unravel the knot are the same tools needed
to overcome challenges the company or team will face.
Let
Go My Ego The power
of each person to influence the success of the team is never clearer than
in this activity. Overcoming frustration and resisting the temptation
to blame each other will be key to moving the bar in the direction you
choose.
People
can find themselves sacrificing their integrity and doing the opposite
of their intention. The team members must work through frustrations and
differences of opinions to solve this magically difficult event. Have
fun and don’t blame it on My Ego!
Individuals on teams have different skill, knowledge and experience. This exercise shows the necessity of each person’s role and responsibility in order for the team to succeed. Additionally, the team will see the benefit of efficiency and how each person is a ‘link in the chain’. This activity is also great for helping teams understand and accept 'mistakes' are only a learning process.
Perfect
Square
The Perfect Square is another easy event that can be very powerful. The
leadership that will emerge and the group participation (or lack thereof)
will always reveal interesting insights and draw out learning from the
team members. Interdependence is clear in this activity and group consensus
can be difficult to reach, but very important.
If people in your organization tend to work
in isolation or in ‘compartments’, if information sharing or seeking a
co-worker’s counsel is non-existent, then you need Team Shackles. Team
Shackles can bring about a paradigm shift in attitudes toward fellow workers.
The game demonstrates how the whole team can benefit if there is willingness
to seek and give help. It will also build confidence within the group
and disprove the notion that some things are impossible.
Tied
In Knots Decision-making and
consensus building techniques go hand-in-hand. Tied in Knots will facilitate
decision making as a group. The challenge in this game is posed by a series of ropes. The
exercise is designed with 10 levels of difficulty. Not only will the levels
add to the excitement of the challenge but will also help participants
discover their own managerial strengths.
In the course of finding solutions, participants recognize
the best techniques that work for them in-group decision-making. This game will tap
into problem solving skills and the ability to reason, critically assess
and arrive at a solution.
Trust
Walk
This is one of the most powerful and, ironically, one of the simplest
events. Trust Walk is about leading, following, trusting and communicating.
Many leadership styles emerge during this event. Some find it difficult
to be responsible for another person’s safety and others find it
exhilarating. To trust or give up control can be very hard for some people.
Whatever the experience, the leader walk is a powerful learning opportunity.
