Group Building Activity
Learn the meaning of the cooperation in a team through a non-formal activity based on learning by doing and experienced learning.
It's complementary to a teambuilding session like the activity called “discovery the city". You need to create teams of 5 persons, then You explain the rules and You say You’ll give the list of the tasks in a different place They know (such as the main square of the town) BUT They need to arrive there staying together all the time. That’s the moment when You show the strings. You’ll put them in a line and You’ll start to put the string on the ankles of the participants. When all the group arrive at the meeting point You'll give the list of the tasks THEN You show the scissors and You say that finally They’re free to walk without strings. Then the activities “discovery the town” starts.
