Team building

On arrival one of our tutors will welcome your group to the Centre and go through the schedule for the day, learning objectives and health and safety issues.

• We'll separate into 6 groups and quickly run through the activities and rules for each challenge

• Explain/reinforce the principle of Plan, Do, Review

• Each group will have a go at the activities below:

  • Stompers: Using planks and rope, move your team as quickly as possible from the start to the finish

  • Walk the plank: Can your group organise themselves in order without falling off the plank?

  • Crossing the Swamp: The whole group must cross the “Swamp” without getting their feet wet using only the equipment provided and nobody falling off

  • Roller Ball: using the pipes can you get the ball in the bucket without moving?

  • Sheep and Shepherd: guide all the blindfolded human “sheep” to safety in the pen

  • Jumbo Jigsaw: instruct blindfolded members of the team to put a giant jigsaw together in the quickest time

• Teamwork and communication skills

• Personal and social development

• Have fun learning outside
