Title: Helium Stick Challenge


Step-by-Step Instructions:


  1. Form two lines of people facing each other.
  2. Place a long, thin pole, like a PVC pipe or a dowel, on the index fingers of the people in the lines.
  3. Instruct the group to lower the pole to the ground, keeping it level and everyone's fingers touching it.
  4. The catch: the pole must stay in contact with everyone's fingers. If someone's finger loses contact with the pole, the group must start over.
  5. The challenge is to lower the pole all the way to the ground as a team.

Questions:


  1. What strategies did your group use to keep the pole level?
  2. How did you communicate with each other during the challenge?
  3. How did it feel when someone's finger lost contact with the pole and you had to start over?
