Helium Pole

The ultimate activity in group cohesion. Groups are to put a thin pole down on the ground without ever letting go of it, sounds easy doesn’t it? No teams we know of have ever managed this on the first attempt. (Reliability and trust, communication, blame shifting)

Over The Bridge

In the activity the group is split into two teams; a design and a building team. The teams are split for the first 30 min of the activity, with the building team having all the building material, but having to wait on the design team for instructions on what to build. The design team have some samples of the equipment and the task of designing a trailer. The building team have brief idea of what needs to be build but are instructed to follow instructions form the design team.
After a 30 minute session, the two teams are combined and the trailer needs to be build. However only builders are allowed to touch building material.
Briefed observers are used in both groups.

Bridge Building

Construct a wooden bridge strong enough to cross a small stream of water. Then use this bridge to cross the stream and get back. This is all easy enough, but building it and setting it up, while only being allowed on one side of the stream. (Planning, trust, team work)
In this activity planning, agility and some luck is of the essence to complete the task at hand. Teams are to cross an open section of ground without touching the ground. They have some pieces of building material to assist them in this task.
