Swamp Machine: An Exercise in
Team Building
"Swamp Machine" is a team building exercise that is fun and challenging for
everyone. The object is to build a vehicle out of two gymnastic mats and
transport their team members two to four at a time across the swamp (gym floor)
without touching the swamp in the vehicle. Students have to figure it out
mathematically because there can be no more than three and no less than four at
a time, and they can't make more than two consecutive trips. It's lots of
fun!
These kinds of activities foster
cooperation, communication,
collaboration, concentration,
and constructive thinking. Wow!
What fun!
The children learn that success
comes when the 8 C's are at
work:
