Description

Basically you need a packet of penne pasta and some string. Tie a length of 5 metres of string to a chair leg for each patrol. The goal is for the patrol to thread the most penne in 5 minutes through to the chair leg. The patrol with the most pieces wins.

Most importantly follow up with a reflective discussion on the challenge of managing the exercise. It then becomes a leadership training exercise.
