  • 1.  org structure activity?

    Posted 11-13-2007 15:18
    Hi
     
    I was going to do an outdoor organizational structure activity on Thursday that someone else on the list told me about. Unfortuantely it is an outdoor activity and Thursday (after months of little to no rain) is supposed to be the second day of heavy rain and temperatures in the low 40's (early morning class so it may be in the high 30's). Does anyone know of any indoor activities that can make points (at this point any points) about structure? I don't want to use a primarily communication activity as I have already used putting the puzzle togther with one way vs two way communication.
     
    Thanks,

    Well, the old "Star Power" exercise comes to mind.  It nicely addresses several issues around structure and hierarchy.

    Hi Carolyn, from another Idahoan,

     

    I use several indoor exercises from time to time, for structure and organization, try Nuclear Waste.  It's easy to setup, easy to do indoors, and is quite challenging.  Let me know if you need more details.
