The sea level is rising and your team need to stay on board the shrinking island. A FABULOUS ENERGIZER!
Teambuilding activity like All Aboard is a great starter to any program.
Immediately gets everyone working closely together what more could you ask?
Team members need to work closely together
Creatively solve this fun to do challenge.
All team members must stay on board and make no contact with the surrounding sea. A great physical teambuilding challenge as team members must physically get as close to each other as possible. Fantastic activity for working together, building co operation, modifying tactics and the space they are standing on dimishes.
Announce: "Your island is sinking and you need to urgently have everyone aboard and they must turn the sheet over to the other side if they are going to survive." Let them go and watch as they manouvre and handle this slippery exercise.
Process: Have group/team rate
their effectiveness on a 1-10 scale, 1 being the worst, 10 being the
best. Comment on their ratings
Variations:
Depending on the number of participants you could have two groups or more
working at the same time and could be used, depending on the existing dynamic
of the group, to explore co-opetition, competition, cooperation and team.
The team will be confronted with many challenges during this
exercise mainly from the dynamics of their team. However, we have
included a few extra, including:
The team must beat other teams
Members of the team are blindfolded
Discussion:
"What would you have had to do to rate your teamwork a 10"? Ask high
raters what made them rate the team so high (or low depending on response.)
Lessons to look for: what were the goals they set for themselves and how
did it relate to what they accomplished? What did the goal they set have
to say about how they feel about risk? How can they relate to the lessons
they learned to having other people set goals for them? Bosses?
Teachers? Parents? How they did relate to not meeting the
goal? Meeting the goal? Exceeding the goal?
Some Debriefing Questions
Did you allocate roles?
Did you use your planning time well?
Did everyone feel that they were involved?
Did communication work for the group? Could it have been improved?
Did anyone have the clearer picture?
How was time managed?
How did you solve it as a team?
Were you flexible and adapt your plan?
A teambuilding activity this creates the perfect energy and chemistry needed to start any event and get everyone on board!
