Come eseguirlo

  1. 1

    Form teams of 4-6 people and provide each member with a plastic pipe and each team with a few bouncy balls.

  2. 2

    Distribute the team handout and explain that the goal is to move the ball around the circle using only the pipes.

  3. 3

    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.

Suggerimenti

  • 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.

Variazioni

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.
