Examples of Successful Team Work Activities)
I’m still writing about examples of activities that will support the
objective of successful team work in creativity room. In this post, I will
mention two more examples which are Helium Stick and Lego.
Helium Stick is a very interesting game.
It is all about applying successful elements of team work if the team wants to
achieve the target. The game will start with the team members standing in two
rows opposite to each other and a thin stick will be provided to them where
they are required to hold it with their fingers.
The objective of the game is to put the stick on the ground with the
condition that the stick should be always touching the fingers of the
participants.
In this game, it is very important to have the following elements:
- A leader,
- A clear plan how to achieve the target,
- Harmony among all members, otherwise; they will
not achieve the target at all,
- Flexibility on the plan in case they are not
able to achieve the target,
- Effective communication between members,
- Finally, each member should focus on his or her
task first rather than watching what others are doing..
Following these elements will lead to success and personally I saw great
teams which achieved the target for less than 10 min.
The second activity is Lego which is a very famous game and it is a very
powerful tool to learn successful team work elements.
We provide the team a subject (can be word or sentences) and request
them to represent this subject as a shape using Lego parts. Many great ideas
are generated, but most important is that team work is clearly shown.
In this game , it is very important to have the following elements:
- Leader should be assigned,
- A clear plan should be done,
- Role distribution between members should be
assigned,
- Time management should be applied,
- Finally, Effective communication between
members.
These are some examples of how we are learning successful team elements.
We are doing our best to implement what we learn in these activities in our
work and life.
See you in next post Insha’Allah J
