Our first activity is The Cotton Ball Race. For this Team Building Activity (which we will demonstrate in class) you will need to split into even teams. First off you will put out four paper plates, two of which will be filled with cotton balls, and the other two with nothing. Then place the empty plates at one end of the room and the cotton ball plates on the opposite side. Secondly, get some vaseline and put it all over your nose (the more the better). Proceed to form a line behind the empty paper plates. Finally, you will race against the opposing team to see how many cotton balls you can get on your plate in 1 minute. Except during this you may not use your hands or any body part except you're nose to get the cotton ball on your nose and to remove it without using your hands. Lastly, if you drop your cotton …show more content…
In this activity you experience thrilling rides, and tuff tasks to follow. For this game you need to get yourself into groups, particularly with many people, preferable 8 or more if possible. This game if a lot of fun because you get to use your imagination. You create a scenario, such as you're soaring over a beautiful field in the country, but you realize you're upside down!!! You can not stop you're magic carpet, so in “mid air” you must flip your carpet over so it's the right way up. In addition you may not step off your magic carpet, and whoever steps off that team is out. In conclusion the goal is to STAY ON THE CARPET. This activity is a team building activity because, it challenges everyone to work together. You learn to get along and do a lot of problem solving. While on the carpet you have to communicate with everyone and make a plan on how you're going to move the carpet without anyone falling off. However it takes a lot of communication skills, and listening skills so everyone can work like a well oiled machine. This activity practice forces people to work together because no one wants to fall off and everyone wants to

You can decide whether you’d like your students to be in pairs or small groups. Each team is responsible for keeping their balloons in the air with each member being allowed to touch one balloon one time for each turn. At first, with just a few balloons, the game will be fairly easy. Over time, it will become more challenging, forcing students to develop a strategy for keeping their balloons in the air.

My group has decided to create a low organization game. This game is called “Reach the Bag”. In this game there will be 4 teams and 2 teams will be playing on the court at once. The gym will be divided in half and both teams will have their own side. Both teams will have flags around their waist. At the back of each side there will be 4 bean bags that will be spread out in a designated spot which will be shown by a few pylons. This area will be called the “Safety Zone”. These bean bags are the objects that the opposite team is trying to get to the middle. In order to get these bean bags, a teammate has to run to the opposite side without getting their flag ripped off. If your flag is ripped off, the player must get their flag and go back to
Sports in a society bring people together and help aid in people making friendships or gaining respect for each other. Baseball isn’t a traditional game that minorities play in and possibly one of the most well-known sports for segregation with the Negro League being formed for African Americans before they integrated. Whites were perceived as the better baseball players so African American and minority baseball players weren’t allowed to play with them (Jiobu, 1988). African American baseball players weren’t worse baseball players and actually had better stats and success in the Negro League. Some even believed they were worse players because they were told so by the white people who were seen as the smarter race even though the numbers said
When the topic of baseball comes up in a conversation, what do you think of? The field, a bat, the ball, or amazing plays, crucial games, and game winning performances. What about American history? Does World War II come to mind; most likely not. According to an article called “Food for Thought: Baseball and American History,” John P. Rossi quotes Jacques Barzun saying, “Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball.” Negro League Baseball can be used to shed light on the historical experience of African American’s in the United States.
One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday
What is a team work? Team work can be defined as when actions of individuals are brought together for the purpose of a common goal. Each person in a team puts his efforts to achieve the objectives of large group. Teams make efforts to achieve the success but not necessarily the success is achieved every time. Within a team every member plays a role to achieve the team’s objectives. These roles add new and important dimensions to interactions of team members. Bruce Tuckman’s team development theory provides a way to tackle the tasks of making a team through the completion of the project. On the part of the team every member played an important role to achieve the success at
Team building is typically used in OD to loosen up an over-organized system that is too rigid and bureaucratic. In this case, team building was aimed at providing structure to an under-organized system.
When I have to work in a team, I try to reach success with others participants in assigned activities. I do not take the role of leader or follower. I consider myself just another participator, but always thinking about doing everything right and clean. I have always had in mind that teamwork are all those actions and activities that are carried out collectively. In order for there to be an excellent group work, I think is necessary is that the actions are developed collectively. This means that to carry out group work, the existence of an entertainer or coordination is not necessary. The collective performance of an action is sufficient, within the framework of mutual interaction.
Teamwork is the joint action by a group to complete a given task. This was displayed by group 20 as each member contributed their individual knowledge and skills towards the team as well as the course objective.
What is teamwork? Teamwork is defined as "a formal work group consisting of people who work together intensely to achieve a common group goal." (University of Phoenix, Apollo Library, 2007). A group becomes a team when members demonstrate a commitment to one another to reach a common goal. There is a high degree of cohesiveness and accomplishment in a team. Simply put two heads are often better than one. (University of Phoenix, Apollo Library, 2007). Teamwork can help us communicate in many ways.
First, learning to work, as a team, can be difficult if the person you’re working with always has to have the right answer or nobody wants to agree on something. It takes everyone in the group or on the team to work together to be successful in whatever it is they are trying to accomplish. The term
Teamwork is the backbone of effective communication and the crucial cog that keeps the wheel of successful project management turning.
