The Domino Effect

MASTERAND:
LAZAR DIANA ROXANA
AN: II

The Domino Effect Team Building Activity involves brightly coloured dominos
and encourages teams to work together to build a variety of displays of toppling
dominos.
Format: Teams of approximately six people get together and spend at least
half an hour designing a display of toppling dominos. Once the design has been
completed, each team is assigned an area in which they must build their exhibit.
Teams work together to create a stunt or pattern within their designated area. When
the time is up, the event will conclude with a dramatic display as the first domino is
toppled and (hopefully) the rest all follow. The more complex, testing and stunning the
display is, the more points your team will receive. Just make sure that no dominos are
left un-toppled!
Perfect for larger teams, The Domino Effect Team Building Activity highlights
the ways in which we need to communicate and co-operate as part of a successful
group. Participants can also have lots of fun with the dominos, and be as creative as
they like with extra points added for complexity and spectacle.
One slip or misplaced domino could easily ruin your teams chances of success.
-A great energiser or finale to a conference
-Appeals to all ages and fitness levels
-Suits groups from 6 to 160
The Domino Effect starts with participants working alone, then in small teams
before finally coming together to create a giant (possibly record breaking) display.
-Designing intricate domino stunts
-Seamlessly connecting with others
-Focus on the individuals work whilst maintaining perspective on the whole
-Working with precision and excellence

Sample Format
This event can be run at any time of day, indoors on a hard floor. If time is
short a condensed version of the exercise can take less than 60 minutes, the example
below shows the 3 hour option:
14.00 Introduction and Video
14.10 Warm Up Exercise
A warm up exercise gets participants used to handling dominoes whilst also exploring
different peoples attitude to risk and the benefits of working in a team.
14.40 Technique Development
While a video demonstrating 50 different domino stunts plays on a loop participants
are encouraged to develop and perfect their own domino toppling tricks and
techniques.
15.10 Team Display
Teams now combine their talents to design a team display.
15.30 Construction
Teams construct their displays in the designated area, taking care to connect with their
neighbouring teams, thereby creating one giant domino toppling display.
16.15 Break
Teams take a break while the final touches are put to the display.
16.30 Testing!
The giant domino display is put to the test as the first falling domino stone sets off a
chain reaction leading to thousands of coloured toppling dominos.
16.45 Review
Teams review their element of the display, identifying how each individual
contributed to the successful or otherwise finale.
