Powerful, quick icebreaker mirroring the business dynamic of projects starting out well and quickly going awry.

PURPOSE

This training resource works well:

  • as an icebreaker to make key learning points
  • with limited time and as a fun pick-me-up
  • for conference breakout sessions
  • for indoor or outdoor use.

THE PROCESS

The team's briefing sheet tells them they must form two lines, facing one other and support the Helium Stick on their index fingers. They must not allow the stick to come apart as they try to lower it to the ground.

This sounds easy for the team to achieve, but they will soon discover it isn't.

Typically the Helium Stick goes up rather than down, until the team organise themselves. (There is no helium in the stick; it is the way the team works that makes the stick rise or fall.)

This game mirrors the business dynamic of projects starting out well, but quickly going awry. Why is that? Sometimes even the best plans do not work. What you do as a team when plans go awry has everything to do with teamwork, trust and communication. Teams come away from this activity with a deeper understanding of how they work best together.

THE ICEBREAKER INCLUDES:

  • 6 'Helium Sticks' joined by an elastic cord to make a 3 metre long stick
  • Laminated Trainer's Guide
  • Laminated Team Sheet.

BENEFITS OF THE GAME

  • Brings out key issues such as Teamwork, Leadership, Communication and Focusing on goals
  • Acts as an icebreaker and leads to greater understanding between group members
  • Creates a territory in which the group must devise a strategy for progress
  • Absorbing and challenging
  • The facilitator can brief the group so it can be used in any language
  • Integrates into any training situation
  • Small and easy to transport
  • Simple to set up and administer with clear instructions and Trainer's Guide with review suggestions.
  • Helium Stick is ready to use and needing no additional equipment or facilities

Developed in conjunction with Joomla extensions.
