Mouse traps

This is a trust-building activity that can be very rewarding for participants, and can open up a great dialogue between participants. Naturally there is an element of risk, and the activity should be practiced on yourself, before you practice it on others... Before you do any trust activity, you must decide whether or not the group is ready, and whether or not this is an appropriate activity for the group, the individual, and the sequence of your teambuilding activities.

Rollenspiel-Übung zum Aktiven Zuhören

Die Teilnehmer gehen zu zweit zusammen und üben das Aktive Zuhören anhand eines Rollenspiels.
  • Dabei geht jeweils eine Person mit der Rolle „A“ und eine Person mit Rolle „B“ zusammen.
  • Das Gespräch wird geführt, wobei der jeweilige Zuhörer jeweils unterbrechen kann, um das Gehörte zusammenzufassen. Der Gesprächspartner gibt unmittelbar Feedback, ob dies stimmig war.

Anschließend läuft das Gespräch weiter.

Kurze Rückmeldung zur Übung im Plenum.

Non musical chairs

This game enforces the importance of SELF ORGANIZATION, COMMUNICATION, SIMPLICITY and TRUST

Self-Organized team is really efficient (no manager needed)

Team should find a quick and simple way to communicate (short verbal word)

The strategy has to be very simple (no time for thinking or organizing the team during the play)

Each member should trust other members (for taking care of the chair he left)
