GREAT ideas Keith!!! I'm stealing them since I am the "team planner" for our meetings and usually have to come up with several "games" to play. :-) PS … GREAT ideas Keith!!!

I had done it once before at a meeting as well. It is amazing how creative some people get ... I even caught one team cheating by toasting their marshmallows into "glue" over the Christmas candle on their table!!! LOL! They found out it wasn't as great an idea as they thought it might be. The other good one is pretzel logs and peanut butter for glue, although granted, that one gets MESSY at times and you should offer up a package of baby wipes for each team to use while working. ;-) Peace ~ Ang We had the absolute BEST time doing this at a team building Christmas party this past year (2011).

I don’t have pics or anything official but I’ve used 2 other “build them together” exercises to help with team building: -build a free standing “bridge” that’s at least 2 feet tall, 3 feet long and can withstand a “stress relief / squishy ball” being rolled across it. The supplies consisted of 6-10 sheets of “white board” paper, 6 paper plates, masking tape and scissors. -build a paper airplane that’s at least 2 feet wide and 2.5 feet long and then try to fly it the furthest of all of the groups. Supplies were 1 sheet of poster board, 5 sheets of “white board” paper, a 3 foot long wooden dowel (about the circumference of a drinking straw or smaller), masking tape and scissors. I’ve seen some pretty creative solutions to both problems! Keep up the great work…..I hope the family is doing well!
