Event Objectives

     

A New Leaf
A fun and powerful event to do when participants are starting to see the value in their own learning. The purpose of the exercise is to inspire ownership and accountability for change in the team members. This is a great opportunity for team members to voice their commitment to change to the rest of the team. The challenge itself is simple, fun, and a great physical metaphor.

Ants On A Log
This event is designed to get the group interacting and having fun. To complete the tasks the team will need to use teamwork, cooperation and creativity. This event is a great way to get people touching each other without being threatened.
[top]

 
     

Amoeba Race
This event can be done as a race against the clock, another team or simply as a teamwork challenge. The team has to work quickly through many limitations to develop alternate ways to direct themselves. Communication, trust, leadership and teamwork will all be put to the test during this event. It will also be FUN!
[top]

 
     

Ball Mania
Hysterically fun, the purpose of this exercise is for a team to look at its current system of operating procedures and examine questions like quality vs. quantity, the rewards or pitfalls of goal-setting and the perceived and actual barriers existing between sub-parts of one team. This can be a very powerful “nuts and bolts” self-examination for any team wishing to improve.
[top]

 
     

Big Kahuna
Big Kahuna will challenge the team’s problem-solving capabilities as well as its perseverance. It is also designed to remove the natural leader from their role and create space for new leaders to emerge. If your group will be participating in some high ropes activities, this event will introduce them to the ropes and harness systems.
[top]

 
     

Don’t Touch Me
Our friend Sam Sikes at Learning Unlimited introduced us to this event. Don’t Touch Me will challenge the team to think outside the box and challenge the actual and implied rules. Warning: this event can lead to major paradigm shift. Once a team discovers the self-imposed rules they will begin to see the solutions. [top]

 
     

Electric Fence
No purpose is more important than keeping the team members safe. Taking care of each other physically and emotionally is very important. This event will encourage both. The team will need perseverance, integrity, concentration, support and foresight in order to be successful, memorable, compelling and relevant. Members will need to share ideas and rally behind a common vision. No individual will succeed if the entire team does not.
[top]

 
     

El Niño
Warning! This is the MOST dangerous event in the bag! Need an event that will challenge even the best of teams? This is it! However, DO NOT use this exercise on new or malfunctioning teams.

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 El Niño.
[top]

 
     

Giant Key Punch
This event is designed to stimulate dialogue about how team members work together to be more efficient and effective. This event could reveal some learning related to continual improvement. What is the best way for this team to get the job done? They may learn the answer after this activity.
[top]

 
     

Leader Walk
This is one of the most powerful and, ironically, one of the simplest events. Leader 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.
[top]

 
     

Let’s Get It Together
The purpose of this exercise is to practice clear communication and develop keys to trust during challenging and confusing times. In organizations, workers are often considered students and administrators are usually coaches. This event will remind people in each position what the other role feels like and lend insights to improving relations between the two.
[top]

 
     

Links
The purpose of this exercise is to physically demonstrate the metaphor that every member of a team is an important “link in the chain.” This event is also a good way to examine individual team member’s sense of value and accountability to their team.
[top]

 
     

Meltdown
This event is often considered impossible in the beginning and can be very stressful. Creativity, coordination, communication, leadership, perseverance, determination and many other team and personal skills will be put to the test during this activity. It is important for teams to find different ways to look at situations and support each other even when there is no clear path and no one is the expert.
[top]

 
     

Search & Rescue
The art of cooperation is something we are taught as children. The goal here is to have the entire team involved, demonstrate the power of teamwork and show the interdependence teams have. You may use many variations of this activity to achieve different outcomes. [top]

 
     

Spider Web
No purpose is more important than keeping the team members safe. Taking care of each other physically and emotionally is very important. This event will encourage both. The team will also need perseverance, integrity, concentration, support and foresight. In order to be successful, members will need to share ideas and rally behind a common vision. This event is similar to the Electric Fence. By design, the Spider Web allows you to make a few big holes that will be easy to get physically limited people through. This is great if you have a team with special needs.
[top]

 
     

Square Rope
The Square Rope 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.
[top]

 
     

Stepping Stones
The application of the Stepping Stones is in every area of our lives. The meaning each group discovers is always different. The basic purpose of the maze comes down to identifying how the team is treating its “mistakes” and the people who are discovering them. Stepping into the unknown is necessary for any team to grow and move ahead, how are they doing in the process? This event will shed some light on the teams process.
[top]

 
     

Team Handcuffs
The purpose of this exercise is to challenge a team’s belief that something is impossible. It is also a great way to explore people’s willingness to ask for help or give help if it will benefit the whole team. Paradigm shift may result. It is a great leverage point to come back to if other paradigm shifts need to happen within the group.
[top]

 
     

Turnstile Jumprope
Turnstile Jump Rope can be used as an ice breaker or as an event, depending on how difficult you want to make the activity. Personal and team coordination will be put to the test as the team tries to jump, dodge, or skip its way through the turnstile. This event is also a great way to get people moving and the entire team involved.
[top]

 
     

Team Tangle
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. [top]
