Chain Re-Action
Chain Re-Action is the perfect team activity, seamlessly combining action with synergy. It challenges cross-functional processes while emphasizing the importance of effective planning and implementation. The key takeaway is that we are all integral parts of a greater team!
What you'll do
Split into teams and position yourselves in designated areas marked on the floor or by tables. Your mission is to complete a straightforward task, such as turning on a lamp or raising a company flag, using a complex, intricate process.
To achieve this, use various materials to construct a fully functional Rube Goldberg machine that operates via a chain reaction. Marbles, wooden sticks, dominoes, bottles, electrical devices, fluids, and more will become the gears that drive your machine and help it accomplish the task.
Once the planning is complete, start the construction process. Negotiation skills will come into play, as teams may need materials from other teams if they miscalculate on their first attempt.
When construction time is over, it’s time to set the machines in motion! Dominoes will fall, fluids will flow into bottles, fans will propel balloons, and through a complex and impressive chain reaction, a switch will be pressed, lighting up the conference motto on a custom sign or releasing colorful balloons into the room.
The potential for great achievement is in your hands!
