How It's Done
The
group’s task is to lift a ball from the ground using a shovel like
tube, then transport it to a designated spot (such as a bucket) where
it is then deposited. All delegates take hold of one (or more,
depending on group size) of the ropes attached
to
the device, forming a circle in the process. They then jointly
manoeuvre Pick-up lines towards their goal. There are various tried and
trusted versions of this activity that you can use with your group:
Remote
Control: The group is split into a team of managers and a team of
workers. The managers are responsible for coordinating the project but
are not allowed to touch the ropes. To master this challenge, they need
to develop an effective and transparent communication style as well as
be focused on achieving targets.
Activation: The exercise is carried out by the entire group, focusing on team issues.
Self-Organization:
Without explicitly defining team roles, the group needs to solve the
task by organizing itself efficiently. The challenge here is to
identify and assign the various roles needed to get the job done.
