Plan and design a team building activity and compile a post evaluation questionnaire

Answer 1

Team Building Activity: "Escape the Maze"

Objective: To promote problem-solving, communication, and collaboration among team members.

Description:
1. Set up a maze using ropes, cones, or other obstacles in a designated area.
2. Divide the team into smaller groups of 4-6 members.
3. Each group has to work together to navigate through the maze and reach the other side within a given time limit (e.g., 30 minutes).
4. The team members are blindfolded, except for one designated leader who can see, and must rely on effective communication and trust to guide their blindfolded teammates through the maze.
5. The team that successfully finishes the maze within the shortest time wins.

Post Evaluation Questionnaire:

1. On a scale of 1-10, how well do you think the team worked together during the activity? (1 = poorly, 10 = excellently)
2. Did the activity help to improve communication within the team? Please elaborate.
3. How did the blindfolds contribute to the team's ability to trust each other?
4. What challenges did you face while navigating through the maze? How did you overcome them as a team?
5. Were there any conflicts or disagreements within the team during the activity? If yes, how were they resolved?
6. Did you have a designated leader in your group? How did their role contribute to the team's success?
7. How did you feel about relying on your teammates to guide you while blindfolded?
8. What did you learn about each other and the team dynamics through this activity?
9. Did you feel that the activity achieved its objective of improving problem-solving skills? Why or why not?
10. How can the lessons learned from this activity be applied to our work environment to enhance teamwork and collaboration?

Note: It is essential to adapt the questions to match the specific goals and objectives of the team building activity conducted.
