Group Size: 6–30 participants Duration: 15–20 minutes Materials: Paper, tape (optional), ruler
Objectives:
- Develop teamwork and collaboration skills
- Strengthen planning and strategy thinking
- Encourage problem-solving under constraints
- Improve group communication
- Support creativity in structured tasks
Instructions: Divide participants into teams. Each team receives identical materials. They must build the tallest free-standing tower within the time limit. The tower must stand without support. Measure and compare results at the end.
Adaptations for Neurodiversity:
- Allow role assignment within teams
- Provide visual step-by-step guidance
- Reduce time pressure
- Allow individual contribution roles (planner, builder, tester)
- Offer simplified materials for some groups
Sensory and Safety Considerations: Medium sensory load due to group activity and time pressure.
Facilitator Notes: Clarify rules clearly before starting. Emphasize cooperation over competition if needed.
