other
○ Everyone must participate and touch each item once but ONLY once
○ You cannot pass an object to the person who is in your same row
○ You must stay seated in your chair
○ Objects should not touch the floor. Any object that touches the floor is out and
must be left there.
● They have 10 mins to prepare and decide:
○ How many oranges will they pass?
○ How many eggs will they pass?
○ In how much time will they do it?
○ who will clean the egg(s) if the egg(s) fall?
● Once the group has accomplished the task, have them sit down in the circle and reflect:
○ How was this experience for you? How do you feel?
○ What happened?
○ What helped you to work as a team? (You can write down responses on flipchart
paper)
○ What didn’t help you to work as a team?
○ What can we learn from this activity?
○ What commitment do you want to make to yourself moving forward for one
action step you can take to work more conducively in the team?
