Conference Ice Breakers & Activities
Bridge Building Challenge - There are several steps involved in this challenge. To start with there are 200 large wooden blocks, a river, and a makings of a floatation device. Good Communication, Planning and Team Work are vital for success in this challenge. The group must work together in order to complete the challenge. Its not all plain sailing, all hands must be on deck to get the bridge built in the allocated time period. The Bridge must stand alone for 20 seconds and must pass Xtreme assessment by the Event Marshall. - A fantastic Event for a group that needs to work together as one, or have difficulty working together.
Picture Perfect - Teams are armed with Polaroid Cameras & 30 images
of locations / items / moving targets & other unusual photographic
material that is located around the event grounds. The idea is simple,
but not as easy as it initially seems as Teams must plan ahead for this
one and delegate if they are to succeed at this challenge within the
time period. 10 points will be awarded for each correct Polaroid handed
back to the event marshal, with a maximum of 300 points to try for. - A
Great Event for very competitive groups.
Giant Jenga - Your instructor will give you a full brief covering all
the rules & tactics needed to attack the opposing Team. This is a
real test of skill and hand-eye coordination, two Teams compete at each
Jenga Tower. Planning, skill & balance are put to the test, but
watch out, as the tower grows so does the chance of it falling over;
the loosing Team is the last Team to touch the Tower. - A Great Event
for very competitive groups.
Clacker Code - Teams compete in a square pen where there are different
sets of coloured jigsaw pieces scattered. Half the Team must enter the
pen and must assemble the jigsaw pieces of the correct colour - while
completely BLINDFOLDED.
The team members outside the pen must act as the eyes of their blindfolded team mates, helping them to piece the jigsaw together. However, they can only communicate with their team mates inside the pen with a variety of noisemakers - which will be provided. Each team must work together to develop an effective means of communication in order to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible. A superb Event demonstrating the power of Communication within the group.
Totem Poles - A mentally and physically demanding challenge, requiring
plenty of concentration from all Team members. The Team is presented
with a spiral ropes course which is laid out flat on the ground. In the
center of the ropes course an 8ft pole stands vertically, with a series
of ropes attached to it. The Teams must remove the pole from the
course, motioning it in a circular direction only, while at the same
time keeping it firmly attached to the ground. A very good
Communication Event requiring steady hands, level heads and open ears.
