A Day In The Country 2009
A venue with a difference
Reactivator Team Building Challenge.
This exercise has tubes with hooks on them fixed into buckets. The buckets are in a fenced off area which cannot be accessed by the team members. They are given various pieces of equipment and they need to construct a device to lift all of the tubes out of the buckets without knocking anything over or dropping them. This exercise focuses on team members planning together. It involves participation from all members, however, natural leaders may come to the fore and lead the exercise. Again, this is a problem-solving task and team members by trial and error will have to find the solution. It results in a realisation that planning is needed before some tasks can be tackled and that by taking everyone’s opinion into consideration a solution can be found quickly.
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:
