Facilitation:
- Set up an obstacle course using whatever is available in
the environment, i.e., going under tables, walking along planks or logs of wood, hurdles. Be sure to assess the culture and physical capabilities of your
group.
- Set up an empty bucket for each team at the
end of the obstacle course. Explain that teams must fill
their bucket with as much water as possible in the fastest time.
- However, they can only do it by one
member at a time running around the obstacle course with a plastic cup of water. If they spill any or all of
the water they still have to complete the obstacle course with the cup before returning directly and passing
the cup onto the next member of the team.
- Award points for finishing first and points
for most water (use a ruler to measure depth). If you wish to have
all teams as “winners,” other “best in class” ways to recognize team effort include: best team spirit, most fun team, and any other recognition you can
create. If you do this, be sure every team gets an
“award.”
