Games are a great way to break down barriers and open up the flow of positive energy. Play is good for your soul; it gets you warmed up for working together.
Trust Activities
The facilitator starts the group with activities that require low to moderate levels of trust, like a blindfolded trust walk, and gradually move into activities that require total group trust.

Initiatives
These activities greatly depend on devising a plan for accomplishment and success. Effective communication, leadership development and problem solving become relevant focuses. The group’s process and progress are carefully monitored by the facilitator and then discussed by the group to help capture the essence of what has been achieved.
Low Elements
Specific challenges utilizing low structural elements which build on the safety systems of trust activities and the problem solving of the initiatives.
- Nitro Swing – Transfer the group from one side of an area to the other by swinging on a rope without touching the ground. The excitement may be enhanced by carrying a bucket of water with them.
- Spider Web – Move the entire group through fabricated web openings so that each person goes through an opening without touching the web.
- Whale Watch – The objective is to have the group perform various functions on a balanced wooden platform without allowing the edges of the platform to touch the ground.
- Bridge is Out – Bridge segments of different sizes must be used to get the group across the ‘river’. Only three bridge segments are available for 5-7 openings.
- Up and Over Wall – The challenge is that each team member must get over this 10-14 foot wall. This requires planning and communication, especially how to get the last person up and over.
