Spider Web
Your team, on a continuous quest to efficiently move in a forward direction, now faces one of its greatest challenges. A web of set-backs is blocking the path to progress! Having only each other to rely on, they must determine how best to navigate through the obstacles they find on their path. As the team progresses, the obstacles grow bigger. Utilizing the strengths within may be the only way to get through this delicate challenge.

The object is to score points by passing group members through the giant spider web. It seems simple at first, but there are rules and parameters that simulate work dynamics, enhance the challenge, and create the opportunity to improve team dynamics and skills. Problem solving, communication, trust, etc., are practiced and refined. Participants' work styles are highlighted and they learn to utilize the strengths and compensate for the weaknesses of those styles.

Debrief for a powerful learning experience
Experiential learning activities are based on the principles of experiential education, and serve as the basis for engaging team building programs that deliver high impact team and leadership skills development. Debriefing occurs after the activity and is an important process designed to synergize, strengthen, and transfer learning from the experience to real-life, on-the-job situations. Our professional facilitators can tailor, modify and debrief each activity to meet the specific needs of your team.
Sample debriefing opportunities
  • Developing relationships built around trust
  • Calculating appropriate risk taking
  • The nuances of goal setting
We have over 100 experiential learning activities at our disposal. We will help you select the ones most appropriate for your situation.
