Thanks for the responses asking me to share ColourBlind and the Red/Blue exercise. ColourBlind is a team building game you need to purchase so it depends on budget. The team is blindfolded before the shapes are divided amongst them and asked to identify the colour and shape of missing pieces from a whole set from which you have removed 2 pieces. The only question you as the facilitator can answer is "What colour is this?". For the other exercise I'll need email addresses as it is a word document. I can send with some instructions although it is so simple to run but very effective. |

Pam - in the past I have given teams some pre course work to do a little research on team stages. I found this a useful starting point as they begin to look at tasks and behaviours at each team stage as well as the role of the leader. I have then used an exercise called Red/Blue as an ice breaker which is a great way to start a team session (I can mail you instructions if you wish just let me know). After that any exercise that gets them working together leaving you to observe and feedback on behaviours and the characters - who is doing what, who is hiding, who picks up leadership etc. One exercise I love is ColourBlind and I've found they cant hide their frustration with others so it brings out some real behaviours with great learns on what their individual responsibility was for successfully completing the exercise. Sounds like you have a great challenge so good luck with it. Malc |

Hi Pam, A great activity that i use time and time again is the spaghetti tower challenge - 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 metre of masking tape and 3 marshmallows - who can build the tallest tower. It is a great activity for colleagues to admire creativity/leadership but as an observer you see peoples strengths/areas of development. Here is a link that i use to refresh - https://learning-resources.sciencemuseum.org.uk/resources/spaghetti-structures/ |
