Tennis Ball Team Building Game

What was the challenge (list criteria and constraints)?

The challenge was to have everyone touch the tennis ball in a circle in the fastest amount of time.

What plan did your team come up with to solve the challenge?Our team came up with the idea to put all our hands really close together and make a sort of downward ladder with our hands. This would meet the criteria of everyone in the group having to touch the tennis ball once.

How did the execution of your plan work out?It worked out pretty well. At first we had an pretty wacky idea, but the idea mentioned above ended up working out really well.

What would you do the same?I would actually do the same plan/idea of having that downward ladder.

What would you do differently?

I don't think I would do anything differently because our plan worked.

Go into some detail as far as how the plan developed on your team. Describe how the group collaborated and highlight any valuable contributions that other team members made. What types of collaboration seemed to work best in this type of setting?
 The plan developed by us just messin around with the ball. The group collaborated by different members  bringing forth their opinions on the ideas we had developed on how to execute them in the actual competition The types of collaboration that seemed to work best in this type of setting was definitly just arbitrary talk, however, once the talk became serious, the organization of the collaboration also got serious and that also seemed to work out best.

Also, did the nature of the game evolve? What criteria or constraints changed and how did you adjust your strategy to deal with them.
The nature of the game evolved as we saw the other groups ideas. Not that we copied them, we just wanted to see our competition.


What constraint or constraints would you add/change to make a new, more fun version of the game?
I would add more complexity to the game, maybe see if we could do it without our hands or something interesting like that.

Did your team win or loose the game?I believe that our team won the game. Hands down.
