Training Activities

 

Warp Speed Group Juggle

bullet

Warp Speed is a Group Juggle spin-off activity to focus on problem-solving and teamwork.

  • Summary

    Throw balls to others in a sequence, using each person's name. 

  •  

    bullet

    Extends the common Group Juggle icebreaker/name game to a team building exercise by asking participants how fast they can pass the ball to everyone (including saying names).  Groups can tender a time and then try to deliver. Push them to go even faster.

    bullet

    Use the set up & instructions as for Group Juggle, but probably not emphasizing names.

    bullet

    Challenge the group to see how fast it can juggle one ball around the whole group.  Time the group, and ask them to "tender" for how fast they think they can really do it.

    bullet

    Explain that the tender is like a business tender - they must put in a really good bid, but they must be able to deliver.

    bullet

    Allow time for discussion and planning.

    bullet

    Then ask them what their tender is & then ask them to deliver it.

    bullet

    If they make it, then ask them to think again, because they undersold themselves.  Ask them to come up with a new tender which better reflects their capabilities as a group.

    bullet

    If they don't make it, then ask them to discuss what went wrong, and say you'll give them a second chance to make their tender.

    bullet

    Generally requires debriefing.
