The Marshmallow Tower: A Creative Team-Building Challenge
Introduction
The Marshmallow Tower is a hands-on team-building game that fosters creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Itβs an enjoyable activity that encourages participants to think outside the box and work together to achieve a common goal.
Objective
The aim of the Marshmallow Tower challenge is to build the tallest free-standing tower using limited materials. This activity helps teams enhance their communication, teamwork, and innovative thinking.
How to Play
Prepare Materials: Provide each team with a set of materials. Typically, each set includes:
20 spaghetti noodles
1 marshmallow
1 meter of tape
1 meter of string
Divide into Teams: Split participants into small teams of 3 to 5 members.
Explain the Task: The objective is for each team to build the tallest free-standing tower using only the provided materials, with the marshmallow placed at the top. The tower must stand on its own for at least 30 seconds to be considered successful.
Set a Time Limit: Give teams 15 to 20 minutes to design and construct their towers.
Measure the Towers: Once time is up, measure each tower to determine which is the tallest. Verify that the marshmallow is on top and that the tower is free-standing.
Debrief: Discuss the different strategies used, what worked well, and what challenges teams faced. This reflection helps participants learn from the experience and apply those lessons to future projects.
Safety Tips
Ensure that the work area is clear of hazards.
Remind participants to handle materials carefully, particularly the spaghetti noodles, to avoid accidents.
Benefits
The Marshmallow Tower encourages teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. It helps participants develop collaboration skills, manage time effectively, and innovate under constraints. By reflecting on their strategies, teams gain insights into their group dynamics and improve their approach to future challenges.
