Participants are divided into teams. Each team is given an envelope containing an assortment of cut out shapes. The team’s task is to assemble the shapes. They cannot speak to anyone.
Participants work in teams, and in silence, to solve a problem, but discover that collaboration between the teams will be necessary. An energiser that brings out the need for trust and clear communication.
