Blizzard – Simple Team Challenge

1. In advance, cut as many strips of paper (approx 4cm x 1cm) out of a sheet of paper, each representing a snowflake.
2. Gather your group in a wide, open space.
3. Challenge your group to catch as many of these ‘snowflakes’ as they can in one round.
4. In the first round, your group will be given just one snowflake to catch.
5. For each successful attempt, they will get one more flake, eg two flakes for the second round, three flakes for the third round, etc.
6. For each round, every person who is holding a snowflake will toss it high into the air simultaneously on your signal.
7. If all snowflakes are caught, the group progresses to the next round.
8. If one or more snowflakes hit the ground, invite your group to try again (with the same number of flakes.)
9. Continue for a specified length of time or invite your group to nominate a target to work towards.
10. At the conclusion of the task, invite your group to reflect on their process and results.
