Not a simple game, then, but an expedition in which team spirit, guts and flexibility are desperately needed.
Teams that could use a boost in energy, confidence and connection
In short: a team day for teams who want to win together, not just perform individually.
You see who takes initiative, who connects and who helps others stay upright - literally and figuratively.
Under time pressure, misunderstandings quickly become apparent. Who keeps an overview? Who checks that everyone still understands?
The tests sometimes require a little more daring: making fire, keeping balance, standing in front of your team in the "island council."
Laughing together and experiencing something tough gives instant connection - a basis for discussing difficult things more easily later.
Who goes full steam ahead to win, and how do you stay athletic when the going gets tough?
Everything you see during the expedition, we briefly link back to your daily work in the debrief.
“The fanatical competition between the teams brings out the best in the participants!”
We start with a playful team format and handing out team colors. The tone is immediately active and playful.
With a few short tasks, everyone gets moving and the ice is quickly broken.
In a mutual competition, several components are covered:
> Building bamboo towers: which team will build the tallest tower with bamboo and elastic?
> Island crossing: using scaffolding wood planks, make the crossing over an imaginary swamp.
> Catapult building & shooting: build a construction of 6 long poles to shoot the ball as far away as possible.
> Meadow council & balance beam: who will be nominated and dare to be in the spotlight during the individual test?
The expedition ends with a finale in which teams can earn double points: a playful eating test (optional), sports relay, gathering materials, chopping wood and making fire to be the first to burn through the string.
We conclude with a brief review: what stood out in the collaboration, who excelled, which moments do you want to hold on to? If necessary, we make the link to how you work together in projects and consultations.
