    Assign a timer and start the exercise, allowing teams 25 minutes to achieve the fastest and most efficient process.

  4. 4

    After the activity, have teams answer processing questions about their communication and teamwork on the handout.

Consejos

  • Encourage participants to adhere strictly to the rules on the handout to simulate real-world constraints.

  • Remind them that effective communication and collaboration are key to success.

  • Debrief with the processing questions to maximize learning.

Variaciones

You can adjust the difficulty by changing the size of the ball or the length of the pipes. For larger groups, consider having multiple circles working simultaneously.
