Challenge teams to create the unimaginable with the old stand-by: Building Blocks. They're not just for children anymore! Trainers have been using them for years to engage groups in teambuilding exercises, icebreakers, management challenges and communication simulations.

JUST THE NOTES

Building the Tower Silently is a thorough group exercise that requires teams to create a structure of building blocks using only non-verbal communication. These facilitator notes help the facilitator reach the goal of the exercise, which is to explore nonverbal communication, stretch critical thinking and perceptual skills, and challenge a group's ability to work together to complete a task.

This is also an excellent activity to build group/team morale.
