In Charger Trails this morning, we played three team-building games, Marble Challenge, Hog Call, and Maze. In the first game (Marble Challenge) we were supposed to make a marble travel through PVC pipes to go from one place to another. For this one, I helped my team by listening to their ideas and using my head if it would actually logically work without testing it out. The second game (Hog Call) we were supposed to pair up together according to the word on our back but we didn’t know our word nor could we talk. We were good at this and I helped my team by trying to sort out different people and pointing at them which person they should partner up with. For the last game (Maze) we were supposed to walk across sixteen squares, walking across each one in a specific pattern. I helped my teammates by point each square they were supposed to cross. In each of these games, I was a follower but that didn’t really affect me. As a group, I felt like we didn’t argue with each other a lot and made compromises. That saved us some time as well.
