Tarp Flip

Objectives

Icebreakers/Warmups | Communication | Collaboration

Group Size

Small Medium

Materials

  • Tarp
  • Ball (optional)

Set Up

Layout a tarp on the ground and have all team members stand on it

Directions

While standing on top of a completely open tarp, the group must create a plan to get everyone on the opposite side of the tarp

without anyone stepping off. The size of the tarp should be defined by the number of individuals in the group.

Variation

Standing in a circle, group members begin by holding the edges of a tarp with both hands. A ball is placed in the middle of the tarp. The object is to flip the tarp so that the object rests on the opposite side of the tarp, facing up. Participants cannot let go of the tarp at any time and the object should remain on the tarp at all time.

Standing on the tarp, have group members fold it in half under them without stepping off. When they are successful, have them fold it again (and again, and again) until someone falls off.
