Preparation
and Notes for Facilitator:
-
The best preparation is to
try this game with friends/colleagues to identify any potential problems.
-
As you work with the basic
concepts, you will discover additional creative options.
-
Divide the group into equal
sized teams.
-
Provide the teams with the
materials that you are using.
Facilitate
the
activity:
-
All team members are to get from one side of the river to
the other using (an equal
number for each team) the materials for the "magic carpet"
that you have provided to them.
-
Squares are “lost” to the facilitator if a participant is
not touching the carpet
at any point in time once the carpet is on the river.
-
This activity can be made more challenging if 2
participants are blindfolded,
can use only one leg, etc.
-
If the group is not listening to one another, they can be
allowed to speak only
if they hold an object designated by the facilitator.
Debrief questions:
- How did you work as a
group?
- Which part was the most
difficult?
- Were there individuals
who were particularly quiet?
- How did team members deal with
frustration?
- What influenced the decisions made by
your group?
- How did communication or
lack of it affect the work of the group?
- What characteristics of teamwork became
evident during this exercise?
