So it has been a while since I have used the Marshmallow Team Building Activity…until today! Have you ever used or been a part of this activity? So fun! Easy to do!
Put your groups in teams – max of 8 I would say. Give each team the following:
20 pieces of uncooked spaghetti
1 yard/metre of string
1 yard/metre of masking tape
1 regular sized marshmallow
Teams have 18 minutes to design the tallest free standing structure which must have the marshmallow (whole) at the top of the structure.
The different ideas that come forward are pretty funny.
After the exercise – show the following video for more laughs…
