Activities:

The Team Responsibility Game

Objectives:

Materials:

To encourage the sense of responsibility to assigned task and to the

team members

big loops of rope

Beach balls or other light balls (balloons, playground balls) roughly
the size of a soccer ball.

Procedure:

Participants arrange themselves into teams of 7 and each person grabs

onto the loop with two hands. The team members should count off so
that they know who is team member #1, team member #2,through
to team member #7
Each team make a net with the loop by passing the rope to each other

until a net is formed.

Place a ball in the middle of each teams net. The teams work is to

keep the ball in play on the net dont let it fall!

The facilitator then guides the team through a number of
actions/scenarios. In each scenario, the team follows the instruction
and attempts to move gently around the room while keeping the ball in
play. The facilitator may ask the team to return to a neutral state
between scenarios (or not!):

the team moves around, learning to keep the ball in play

team member 1 takes 130% of the responsibility by pulling harder on

the cord.
team member 2 gives up some responsibility by loosening their grip on

the cord.
team members 3 & 6 have a conflict and try to pull apart while

maintaining their grip on the net.

team member 4 leaves their home team and joins another team

team members 5 & 7 swap places

multi-tasking!: have one team member join onto another team while

remaining part of their home team

remote team member: have one team member close their eyes
have the team members move around silently
have one team member remain immobile while the rest of the team
moves around.

The Spiderweb Walk

Objectives:

Materials:

Procedure:

All members of the team must be responsible in taking actions to

accomplish the task

Spider web made up of bionic straw or abaca rope

Bells

Divide into three equal groups

Each participant must walk through a different opening in the
web.
The second individual must put his hand into the others
shoulder up to the last member of the group.
In addition to watching the web for contact, you can add a bell so
that contact is more easily noted.
A touch while passing people back through counts the same as
any other touch, thus resulting in another penalty.

Rules

In the event of contact, offer an option to the group, such as,

"you can either start again from the beginning, or, you can pass
two people back through."
