Editor's Notes

- Debriefing Suggestions Once, when working with a team on goal setting and goal achieving, I had the group list out their team goals on a large piece of paper and then tape it to a wall. I then asked the group to identify the obstacles that stood in their path to achieving these team goals. I asked the group to move to the opposite side of the room (opposite from their goal sheet) and then provided the group with a set of duct tape Team Skis and told them they must reach their goals - this would be metaphorically represented by the group traveling across the room on the duct tape Team Skis. I then placed a number of obstacles in their way that the group was not allowed to move. The physical obstacles represented the “real life” obstacles. Obstacles included: chairs, desk, mousetraps, and a string 4 feet off the ground they had to travel under (and not touch). When the group was done, I asked them to identify the top three team skills that helped them make it to their goal sheet.
- Facilitator Notes: Play will last for 3-5 minutes, at which point the participants will be out of breath and no nearer to winning. Signal a pause and ask them to regroup with their teams and strategize for two minutes. One group or another may come up with the creative solution (see step 3 below); most groups, however, will try to position the people "strategically," plan for faster ball transfers, etc. After two minutes, signal time, have them return to their starting positions, the Ready, Set, Go. After another fruitless 3-5 minutes, participants will still be no nearer winning and starting to become a little frustrated. Signal another pause, and ask them to circle up as a group and perhaps "learn from each other." This will usually produce better results; if they need prodding, restate the object of the game and the rules. Some person will think to suggest that the groups work together; another might ask if the hoops can be moved (YES). In either event, you know that the group is on the right track. With some planning and thinking about what you've told them, they should realize that the only way to win (other than all of the other groups agreeing to lose -- not likely) is for them all to win, i.e., place all of the balls in the middle hoop, then place their hoops around the balls. This activity and processing can be enriched by creating team identities which match your population; if you're facilitating a corporate group, you might have a "design team" and an "engineering team," a "management team" and a "union team." Likewise, if you're facilitating a school group, you might have "Preppies," "Jocks," and "Headbangers" (am I showing my age?). Be creative.
