Team-Building Exercise
Instructions
Separate into small groups of 5-10 people.
Explain that their goal as a small group is to build the tallest free-standing structure they can, using only the
riches of their shoes in five minutes.
Explain that ‘free-standing’ means that nothing – no seat, no hands, no walls, etc – can be used to keep the
growing tower upright.
When time’s up, ask for everyone to step away from their structures, and use measuring tape to determine which is the tallest.
