A Day In The Country 2009

Caos Team Building Challenge.

Team members are blind folded, leaving one sited team member. This person has to direct and instruct their team members to build a pyramid using yellow and black buckets. However, they are not allowed to use words and must just communicate with noises. The team that constructs the pyramid in the quickest time will win. This exercises focuses on planning, trust and good communication, as the team members in are blind folded. Some team members will be more confident at being blind folded than others and therefore it encourages other team members to be supportive and considerate and to realise each other’s strength and weaknesses. It also encourages coaching skills, as teams have to communicate, direct and encourage their blind folded colleagues. If the team members have not planned effectively then the exercise ends up in Caos!!!

Below is an example of the team building exercises used for the Go-Cart Challenge but exercises can be tailored to suit any organisational issues, other activities can be added such as Dog Agility and Ferret Racing, Segway Vehicles and Sheepdog Handling and Duck Herding which can also be tailored to be team building:
