Struggletown Team Building Agenda

This team building activity involves splitting participants into groups, showing one member of each group an arrangement of objects, and having that member relay the arrangement to their group members through a series of yes/no questions and back-and-forth discussions to replicate the original without seeing it directly. The goal is to build communication and teamwork skills as groups work together to reconstruct the hidden arrangement based on descriptions from their teammates. Once all groups have attempted to complete the replication, the original arrangement is revealed to see how accurately each group was able to copy it through collaborative work and communication.

Team Building Activity Replication

Focus: Working Together & Communication

Abstract This activity usually takes about a half an hour. The organizers of the activity begin by finding multiples of objects. If you plan to have 3 groups, then find 4 of each unique object (e.g. 4 binders, 4 pens, 4 pinecones, etc). Arrange one set of the objects in an area where none of the participants can see. An example could be placing the pen horizontally in the middle of the binder open to page 4 and putting the pinecone centered above the binder. Then gather the participants, split them up into three groups and explain the game. Each group has 1 or 2 builders, 1 or 2 runners, and 1 looker. The looker of each group gets to see the original model. Each group s builders get a pile of the objects in a space away from the other teams builders. The interaction works like this: The looker looks at the original display and goes halfway to the builders location, where the runner will be positioned. The looker tells the runner all of the details he can remember about the model. Then, the runner goes to the builder(s) -- or another runner if using two--. When the runner(s) get to the builder(s), the builder(s) can only ask the runner yes or no questions. Some questions could be Does the pen go here? Is the binder open to this page? When the runner can t remember any more details or wants to confirm a detail, he goes back to the point where he can meet the looker. He can converse freely about the details. This goes on until all the groups feel they are done or are pretty much done. Once finished, everyone gets together and looks at each groups finished design and then you can reveal the hidden model. Replication builds communication skills and is a good teambuilding effort. It s fun too, to look at the different results.
