Each simulation presents an unfamiliar scenario, such as being stranded in the desert, and asks the team to rank various objects they might need for survival. The team building exercises ensure that all participants have the same level of knowledge about the artificial situation not very much! These exercises demonstrate convincingly how group decisions are often more valid than even the decision of the smartest person in the group e.
By having team members complete the exercise individually and then as a team, the difference between the individual solutions and the team's solution can be identified.
This becomes a real measure of the group's ability to perform as a team. The Survival Simulations can be used as an icebreaker at the beginning of a workshop, conference, seminar, or training program, or to establish healthy norms within a new work group.
And they can be used with new or established teams to introduce members to the value of synergy or to gauge their synergistic problem-solving skills. Set in unfamiliar locations, our survival team building problem solving activities allow group members to participate as equals—regardless of rank or position. Videos are also available for most of the simulations. The videos enable participants to "see" the situation settings and the available items, making the simulations more real for them.
To make it into a team activity, choose a final project that has many elements and have them create the parts. For example, you could have them draw a comic book and each person could draw a page. They would need to get together to work out the story and who takes on which part. By working to a common goal, but creating individual components, they will learn collaboration skills and the importance of communication. It may seem like a stuffy old game, but you can give the classic Murder Mystery a 21st century makeover.
Give your teens a theme such as singers, actors or sports stars and have them get into character. If you plan ahead, you can give them their character a few days in advance and have them make it extra fun by dressing up. Simple but effective. In this game, participants are told to organize themselves into a line ordered by a certain characteristic. So you could choose height, shoe size, birthday etc. For something active that involves teamwork, why not try paintball or laser tag?
Paintballing can be a bit too rough for some people, so laser tag is a great alternative. Or in the case of laser tag, one team has to get the most hits against the other team. Players learn to work together, defend themselves and protect one another in this game. A simple idea that involves no preparation and is totally free. Have your teens stand in a circle and then put their hands in the middle. Once they do that, have them hold the nearest hands. The fun part is having them detangle themselves!
They will need to work together to go over and under one another, to weave in and out. This remains one of the simplest games both to play and to organize as a corporate training activity. The challenge is for the participants is to select only 5 out of 21 items to take with them, in order to survive in the Arctic. In doing so, participants will have to discuss options, share ideas, debate and maybe think out of the box. So, this activity can also be good as part of a creativity training session, as well as a team-building session.
As the trainer, split the participants into groups of 5 or 6 if you have a large attendance. Then give each group the handout with the list of items to choose from and a pen if they need one. After the 15 minutes is up, the trainer will choose 3 groups to explain which items they chose and why.
This activity can be kept to 30 minutes or can easily be extended to 45 minutes with a quarter of an hour spent on an open discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of each item. This activity pushes participants to communicate as a team by guiding them towards debating and discussing the items they would need to choose. This task does also tend to showcase who the leaders are as one of the 4 team members will often take control of the group.
From a management point of view, this can be an especially interesting activity to observe if you are interested to see who the natural leaders are.
