===Materials===<br />
<br />
For this activity you need some building supplies such as: <br />
* Paper Cups, plates, bowls<br />
* Popsicle Sticks or coffee stirrers<br />
* Cheap pens or pencils<br />
* Construction Paper or cardboard<br />
* and you must have some tape (masking tape works best)<br />
* a bag of candy or another similar prize with enough for everyone (alternatively you can just use "bragging rights" as the prize)<br />
<br />
===Set Up===<br />
[[Image:Teampedia_-_Tower_Building_Strategizing.JPG|center|thumb|300px|right|Team Strategy]] <br />
<br />
Before the activity, you need to make a packet of supplies for each group. Divide your class into groups of 4-5. If you have less than 12 people, this is probably not the right activity for you. The key here is to divide the supplies unevenly, but put them in a closed bag or box, so that participants can't see that each group is getting a different set of supplies. Each group should have a lot of one supply, and only some of the other supplies. <br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
Packet #1 - <br />
*1 roll of Masking Tape<br />
*10 Paper Cups<br />
*5 Popsicle Sticks<br />
*4 sheets of construction paper<br />
<br />
Packet #2<br />
*a 12” strip of Masking Tape (wound around a pen)<br />
*25 Paper Cups<br />
*5 Popsicle Sticks<br />
*8 sheets of construction paper<br />
<br />
Packet #3<br />
*a really small piece of Masking Tape<br />
*10 Paper Cups<br />
*35 Popsicle Sticks<br />
*1 sheets of construction paper<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
[[Image:Teampedia_-_Tower_Building_Planning.JPG|center|thumb|300px|right|Planning the Team Building Activity]] <br />
<br />
'''Big picture:''' The participants work to build the tallest free-standing tower they can with the supplies given.<br />
<br />
Begin by randomly dividing participants into small groups and organizing the groups in different areas of the room. Ask for a representative from each group to come to a separate space (center of the room or a separate room) to receive instructions and materials. Pass out one bag of supplies to each group representative. <br />
<br />
<br />
You should then introduce the representatives to the activity by simply saying "This is an activity to work on communication and collaboration, and the goal is to build the tallest free standing tower you can with the supplies in the bags. There will be prizes (or bragging rights) for the winners."<br />
<br />
<br />
You should be careful to introduce the activity without giving too much context or answering too many questions. Again the key here is that each group will have a different set of supplies but the facilitators should make sure this is not immediately obvious. Once it becomes more obvious, the facilitators should neither discourage or encourage collaboration and sharing. The vast majority of participants when divided into groups, will assume they they should be competing against the other groups but you should not specifically say it is a competition. You will address this in the debrief questions based on the groups' choice to collaborate or compete.<br />
<br />
<br />
Answer questions at this point. Try to be very general in answering questions from the representatives. If they have specific process questions, it may be helpful to say something like, "you have received all the instructions I can give you. You and your group will have to figure out the rest". <br />
<br />
<br />
Then announce that the representatives will return to the groups, and once they return, the facilitators will not answer any more questions. The facilitators should not answer any questions so that the groups are forced to figure out how they want to build on their own. If the groups decide they want to collaborate, the facilitators should neither encourage or discourage them (this will come up in the debrief). <br />
<br />
<br />
Announce that they have ~20 min to build, and let the building begin. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some groups will spend time coming up with a detailed strategy, others will just dive right in. Some may start to notice that they don't have much tape, or that the other groups have more popsicle sticks. <br />
<br />
<br />
After a few minutes of building you have a few choices. <br />
* You can ask for representatives to come to the center of the room and report to the other reps one thing they are doing well and one challenge they are having. <br />
* You can have everyone stop building for a moment and walk around and see other teams' progress so far<br />
<br />
<br />
Again, the facilitators should not answer any questions, and should not encourage or discourage collaboration! <br />
It is important to try to deflect... so if they ask, "How come they have so much more tape?" you might say "Sorry, I can't really answer any questions at this point, but it looks like you are making good progress." <br />
<br />
<br />
As they start to see that other groups have different supplies, some will respond by questioning, some will try to beg, barter, or steal supplies, and some will just resign themselves to the fact that it's not fair and will continue to focus on working with what they have. <br />
Make notes of it all, and save it for the debrief.<br />
<br />
===Debrief===<br />
[[Image:Teampedia_-_Tower_Building_Success.JPG|center|thumb|300px|right|The Tallest Tower Team Building Activity]]<br />
<br />
Because of the unequal distribution of supplies, in order to build the tallest tower possible, the groups really have to all merge and share supplies. But because you divided them into groups, and that implies competition to most people, very few participants will try to suggest that the groups collaborate or share supplies. Even if someone in the group suggests it, it is not likely that everyone will agree to it. <br />
<br />
The facilitators should ask the following questions of the entire group.<br />
* Raise your hand if you helped build a tower!<br />
* What worked well?<br />
* What challenges did you encounter and how did you overcome them?<br />
* Did you build the tallest tower you could? Why or why not?<br />
<br />
Add the following questions if the groups did not collaborate or share supplies:<br />
* Did you assume that you were only supposed to collaborate with those in your small group?<br />
* What would have been possible if you had decided to share resources with the whole group? <br />
* Would you have had a taller tower?<br />
* Why didn't you?<br />
<br />
Add the following questions if the groups collaborate:<br />
* How did you come to the decision to collaborate?<br />
* What became possible once you made the decision to share resources?<br />
* What was challenging?<br />
<br />
And then to make the issues really hit home, you need to tie it back to collaboration and communication on your specific team or group:<br />
* How does building the tower in this activity compare to your daily work? or the way our group is organized?<br />
* How does this activity relate to being part of the larger company, organization, or group?<br />
* How can we encourage collaboration, communication, and sharing among the whole group?</div>98.248.127.150https://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Team_Building_Companies&diff=4177Team Building Companies2010-11-29T07:48:42Z<p>98.248.127.150: /* P */</p>

===Directions===<br />
Get together with a group of friends and take turns asking eachother the questions above. If you have extra time try to come up with your own questions.<br />
<br />
===Alternatives===<br />
<br />
Have everyone answer secretly and show the tally. (Example 2 said... and 3 said...)<br />
Then try to guess who answered which way.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you don't want to come up with your own list, you can find a lot of questions with a [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22would+you+rather%22 Google search for "would you rather"] or check out the official site:<br />
wouldyourather.com (WARNING: this site is full of adult-themed and often gross scenarios).<br />
Or for those of you in the U.K. who say "Would you prefer..." here's an alternate site: woulduprefer.co.uk<br />

<br />
===Set Up===<br />
None<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
In pairs, ask participants to stand facing one another with arms positioned elbows in, palms<br />
facing partner (like patty cake). Participants should start standing approximately 1 foot<br />
apart. With hands out, partners lean forward so that hands meet flat against one another with no interlocking fingers (keeping elbows in) and push against one another creating a<br />
springboard. Partners then take small steps back, repeating the activity at increasingly<br />
further distances apart. The objective is for partners to complete the activity, standing as far apart as possible while maintaining safety and a sense of trust.<br />

===Materials===<br />
<br />
Table, Paper, Pens or Markers, Simple Images<br />
<br />
===Set Up===<br />
<br />
On a table, place as many pieces of paper with a pen as you have teams. Have pre-made simple images or "emails" made (example: Heart, Tree, Smilie Face, Star, Stickman, etc.) <p> <br />
The players should be divided up into at least two teams with at least five people per team. Teams should have an even amount of players.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
<br />
Have the teams line up in a straight line in front of their piece of paper on the table. Instruct them that there is to be no talking. The person at the back of the line (furthest from the table) on each team is shown a simple image we call the "email". The image is then taken away. Once one person from each team has seen the image, he/she must then draw that image with their finger on the back of the person infront of them. That next person draws on the back of the person in front of them what they think the person behind them drew on their back. It continues down the line until it reaches the person standing at the table with the paper and pen. That person draws the image on the piece of paper. Once all teams are finished, the original image or "email" is revealed. The team who finished first, and drew the correct image wins.<br />
<br />
===Alternatives===<br />
<br />
You can show each team a separate image<br><br />
You can give points to the team that finished first, and the team that drew the correct image<br><br />
You can play in rounds with teams accumulating points to have an overall winner<br />

===Facilitator Notes about [[:Category:Trust Activities| Trust Activities]]===<br />
<br />
* Safety Check: All [[:Category:Trust Activities| Trust Activities]] require the facilitator to pay extra close attention to physical and emotional safety. Introduce safety before starting any activities in this series.<br />
<br />
* [[Challenge by Choice]] is especially important for [[:Category:Trust Activities| Trust Activities]]: Each participant has the right to decide his or her own level of participation. It is recommended that you re-introduce [[Challenge by Choice]] before starting any [[:Category:Trust Activities| Trust Activities]].</div>98.248.127.150https://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Activity&diff=3956Template:Activity2010-08-18T07:52:34Z<p>98.248.127.150: actually this is the "last good copy"</p>

Materials: <br />
Chairs, cones, anything that can create an obstruction for an obstacle course.<br />
<br />
Set Up: <br />
Set up obstructions in an open area.<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Divide the group into smaller groups of three. One group member will be blindfolded and have to maneuver through an obstacle course. One group member can see the first one and the obstacle course but cannot speak. The last group member can speak but is not allowed to see the blindfolded group member or the obstacle course. The group member whom cannot speak must use gestures, hand signals, or any form of non verbal communication (pen and paper is not allowed) to tell the group member who can speak what directions to give the blindfolded group member to successfully navigate the obstacle course. The first sub-group to successfully navigate the obstacle course wins.<br />
<br />
Debrief:<br />
Discuss what went right/wrong and what communication barriers the groups experienced. Relate this to communication successes/obstacles in your organization.<br />

== Hello Guys - Outstanding Forum! Let me know if you want any help! ==<br />
<br />
Hi Everybody, i would just like to make an intro to everyone at www.teampedia.net<br />
<br />
Your forum is great! Usually when I visit forums, I just come across crap, but this time I was really surprised, finding a helpful forum containing brilliant information. <br />
<br />
Thanks peeps and keep this good effort up.</div>98.248.127.150https://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Speed_Rabbit&diff=3874Speed Rabbit2010-07-14T08:45:12Z<p>98.248.127.150: </p>

Everyone stands in a circle with the leader is in the middle. Begin by teaching the group the<br />
various poses of the game, each should use 3 people. The leader points to 1 person in the<br />
circle, and the person on either side of them needs to create the stated<br />
pose. If someone messes up, makes the wrong pose, moves when they weren’t supposed to,<br />
then they are out. There are tons of these poses and you can make up your own, but a few<br />
are:<br />
• Speedy rabbit – the 2 side people face out to make the shape of the ears, and the<br />
middle person puts his or her hands in front of them like paws<br />
• Screaming Viking – the 2 side people make rowing motions on the outside, and the<br />
middle person bangs their fists on their chest yelling<br />
• Girl Scout – the 2 side people put their arms up on a diagonal and lean in to make a<br />
house, and the middle person crouches down and says “want a cookie?”<br />
