To get our week started off right, we played some team building games. The purpose of the games was to learn to plan, cooperate, and work as a team.
When we did the river crossing I learned that we need to use teamwork and work together and use all of our brains and make sure everyone is involved. We had to have balance and involve all of our ideas. Some of us had to do piggy back or just stick together, and we all didn’t get frustrated. We tried many ideas and we always solved one to cross the river of lava dun dun dun… When we did it, it was hard, yet we had fun trying it. ~ Sophia L.
When we did the Helium Stick Game it was frustrating because when the people tried putting the stick down the stick kept going up. Most of the people were very positive and didn’t rage on other people. I learned that teamwork is really difficult at the beginning, but at the end it turns out really helpful because you learn how to get used to working and interacting with other each other.Erica K. + Amy E.
When we did the toxic waste game, I realized that we needed to work together and not shout to each other because no one would listen to you. When we needed to pour the water in the bucket, pouring the toxic waste in the bucket without spilling it was very difficult. We had to communicate with each other and use our PUYCS ( please use your common sense, this was made up with Ms. Mince and Aron.) After we managed to pass all two levels it became very hard. The two people that were the leaders had to close their eyes and the other members of the other members of the group had to tell them what to do. But after trying and failing many times we managed to succeed. ~ Ashley K.
When we did the Human Knot our team tried to strategize before joining hands, however we weren’t allowed to. Instead of us groaning and moaning, we just continued on with our lives. ~ Angel V.
River crossing can get really complicated, so as I have experienced, you need to put your brain to use. But, collectively, when placing your mind to use together, working as a team can really get you somewhere.
I'm a massive fan of this blog because all the team-building activities that have been laid down within it have been done so in such an excellent manner. It's just great to see this all in all.
Thanks a lot for showcasing the different team-building events! Could you please provide any original or unique team-building concepts that corporations may use to create memorable and impactful experiences for their teams?
