About Be Legendary River Crossing Team Building Activity
River Crossing requires a combination of true teamwork, which rarely happens, as group attempts to accomplish a 'simple' task with little planning, especially for when things go wrong. A glimpse into River Crossing: The goal of the exercise is to have the entire team involved, demonstrate the power of teamwork and show the interdependence teams have. River Crossing requires that groups must cross a 'river' using on the tools available. The entire team must cross at the same time. At the beginning, the goal (the other side of the river) is clear to everyone. As the team moves into the middle of the river, everyone's perspective changes - some are in front, some in back and no one can see the same thing, or have the same information, as everyone else. Mistakes are made and the person in back, or the least likely to lead which is why they are in the back, must now take charge and tell everyone what to do. Throughout the entire activity, everyone's perspective is constantly changing and the information changes. Communication must be clear to cross the river in time. Our best results have occurred in groups that are goal setting or at the beginning of a project - perfect for new project teams! What will the group learn from River Crossing? The learning is always a bit different which is what makes this team activity so interesting. Just like the activity itself, you may plan on discussing a particular topic before it begins but you see that there is something very different that happens! As soon as you enter the river, each person's perspective, leadership and overall style changes. Do you accept another person's perspective? Then, why is it SO difficult to accept a person's perspective when it comes to work issues? Because stakes are higher, ego is involved and consequences are 'real'. Now you see how this discussion could be learning rich!
