If you book the Construction Game as a team outing then this is the task your team faces:
Designing, building and using a large wooden track that stands in an (imaginary) swamp and can make the water flow. This is ultimate challenge for teams (20 participants or more) if you like a large and complex construction task. This will include a system with game elements and a competition!
Final
All this happens under considerable time pressure, because after 2.5 hours the “tap” opens and water finally flows through the pipe. Which team fills the big barrel first? And what amount of money will remain after settling with bonus points and penalty points?
Are you task-oriented or more people-oriented?
Perfectionist or just practical?
Are you quiet or quick by nature? Can you communicate well or take charge?
Are you concerned with yourself or with others? More introverted or extroverted?
In the Construction Game, we assume teams of 5 to 8 people. Each team works separately on an assignment. At some point, the subprojects are linked together and 2 teams merge into 1 superteam. Here we play with the balance between independence and dependence.
Team members are given specific team roles in the organization and execution of the project:
Team roles with tasks and certain rights
A complete team consists of the following team roles:
The leader: this team member is the coordinator of the process and responsible for time; he/she may set 1 x Time-Out for joint consultation with the merger partner.
The designer: armed with pencil, the designer is the draftsman of the structure.
The spokesperson: this team member is the only one who can communicate with the spokesperson of the team to be merged with.
The specialist: this team member is the only one allowed to leave the site to look at the other site.
The logistics professional/professional: takes the lead in building and executing the plan; may be the only one shopping for additional materials.
All participants receive a helmet. You write the team role you receive on the sticker that is then placed on the helmet.
DISC or BELBIN? It is possible to divide the team roles based on the characterizations of the DISC behavioral styles or the definition of the BELBIN team roles.
With the proper use of all the qualities and materials the team possesses, build half of a water course (on site 1).
Another team (with whom you work together), builds the other half of the structure without you being able to see each other (on site 2).
Both teams have a basic set of materials. If you think you need additional materials, you can buy them at the “SHOP” (which is only open at set times). Or you can try to trade stuff with another team….
The structures made at the two construction sites will eventually be transported to and combined at Construction Site 1.
The question is whether the structure has enough distance to cross the swamp and allow water to flow into the barrels. Which team will be the first to fill the big barrel with water? And how much “money” will be left in the greenhouse?
Based on this, a winner can be declared!
It is also possible to reduce the competition element to be somewhat reduced and focus mainly on cooperation.
In the winter we can organize this inside and then the water will be replaced with ping pong balls.
Short, powerful workshops to get to know each other better
Content, energy and (inter-)action in every team building activity
Organizable anywhere and accessible to everyone
Let's begin
Together we explore your team's strengths and dynamics; what do you value?
In imagining the ideal future, we ask each other the question: what do you desire?
Then we develop a program with success factors for developing your potential
We accomplish this with workshops that connect and can create positive change.
