A seemingly impossible challenge can fail or succeed depending on our attitude when we approach it. |
The underlying principle is that we are really using our heads when we work as a team. Executed in teams with a facilitated discussion time. |

| · Electric Spiders Web |
To avoid the pursuing Martian forces the teams find themselves escaping in a tunnel where they come across the remains of some strange arachnids. |
An interesting obstacle needs to be conquered in an efficient manner. |
Objectives: |
| |  | Emphasise the importance of partnerships, | | |  | strategy and not rushing your planning, | | |  | dependence on the team, | | |  | identifying the groups strengths and weaknesses, | | |  | avoiding chaos when caught up in the moment, | | |  | asking the right questions; and not quitting. | |

| · Shape Up – Don’t Ship Out |
This thought provoking exercise covers a lot of issues that are prevalent in most working environments. |
Teams are presented with a challenge, but no form of instruction. In fact, initially the teams may not even identify an objective. |
As time progresses, the limitations on the teams are lifted and they are given more resources which need to be used wisely or else they could be wasted. |
This exercise touches on many varied issues such as: |
| |  | The need to show initiative; | | |  | What is real communication; | | |  | Leadership and changing leaders; | | |  | Using resources wisely; | | |  | Learning from our environment; | | |  | Avoiding selective listening; | | |  | Building on our successes | |

| · The Drop Zone |
Taking people out of their comfort zones can often highlight the concept of “IT’S NOT CAN OR CAN’T; BUT RATHER WILL OR WON’T (BUT SOMETIMES WE DON’T KNOW HOW)’. |
When organization, leadership, and full information can usually bring a far higher level of confidence into a team. |
This helps people to take on challenges that initially they don’t feel capable of. |
Delegates can gain insight into what they are really capable of from this simple but effective team building activity. |
The objective is to emphasise the need for total trust and integrity in teams. |
It concludes with a facilitated discussion time on principles learned. |

South Africa's Premier Teambuilders & Corporate Motivators |
The true essence of teambuilding facilitation is adhered to when delegates are asked for their thoughts, opinions and insights into the lessons learned from the various teamwork games. |
This strict MOVERS and SHAKERS philosophy results in the best internalization of lessons learned – that is when the delegates are steered toward their own conclusions. |
Just like many satisfied Blue chip organizations that have benefited repeatedly from our customised teambuilding program, you can arrange a free event planning session with a Movers & Shakers’ teambuilding consultant. |
