Teambuilding Activity: Determine The Leader
Fun and playful, simple yet revealing of group dynamics.
This activity promotes:
-Insight into identifying a leader
-Generates energy
Below is the instruction:
Duration: 20 minutes
Participants: 6 to 15
Indoor and Outdoor
Active
Required materials: None
Procedure:
- All participants stand in a circle.
- Ask one of the participants to leave the space or area.
- They go to a place where the group cannot see or hear them. One participant now becomes the leader.
- They make a movement that the group tries to mimic as accurately as possible.
- If you let the group determine the leader without explicit instructions, interesting processes will unfold 😉
- Now ask the participant who left the group to come back.
- They stand in the middle of the circle, carefully observing all the moving participants, and must guess who the leader (the one initiating movements) is.
