Team Ice Breaker is a clever way to energize a team and break your routine whether at the office or in a conference and this activity is a gem for achieving synergy.
As leader, start with the ball. Say you are going to toss it to someone in the circle. When you receive the ball, you should toss it to someone NOT right next to you and that has not had it yet, and then fold your arms. The last scout should toss the ball back to the leader. Then, go through the cycle once more to make sure everyone knows who they are tossing to.
OK, let's try to speed it up. I'm going to step out so I can time the group. When the last scout gets the ball, that will stop the clock.
Here, let me state the objective and rules to make sure they are clear...
Objective: Have the ball pass through the group as fast as possible.
Rules:
Each person touches the ball only once The same order of people is used in every attempt
Reflect:
Who took leadership?
How many different ideas did you try?
Did anyone have an idea that was not considered?
When did a big improvement occur? (completely different way to do it)
How will this affect the way you approach problems you encounter?
This is a just a great team bonding game to have in any outdoor program.
