Team Building ActivityEveryone get in your teams!

The Rules You will have two sheets of paper, and a pair of scissors.

The task is to cut the paper in such a way that you can get your entire team inside of a single sheet of paper.

The paper must remain a single, continuous sheet, with no broken or hanging edges.

You will have four minutes to work, then a hint will be shown, and you will have another four minutes to work.

However, the first team to complete the task is the winner, regardless of whether time has expired.

Possible Solutions

Follow-Up What was it like beginning a task with incomplete

information on how to complete a project?

How did your team decide which method to follow?

Were you encouraged to take more risks, knowing that you had more resources in case something went wrong?

If you had known there was an incentive, would you have conducted the activity differently?

Anyone can submit/run a team building activity.

Must submit by one week before next meeting

Great way to earn some additonal leadership experience!

Opportunity: Run a Team Building Activity!
