Description

This activity is to run a Teamwork skills training session to prepare patrols for an incident night hike.

You will need to set up 2 or 3 incident bases which the patrols can rotate around. If an incident base would take 10-15 minutes to complete on the actual event, for this session allow almost twice as long per base.

Resources

Optional - whiteboard/whistle/timer

Whatever you need for your chosen incident bases.

e.g.
Lego Communicators & Constructors
Mini Pioneering - Da Vinci Bridge
Minefield challenge

(for more ideas, search for the tag "INH")

Instructions

Explain the format of the session to the YP, emphasising that building their ability to work as a team is more important than winning every single time.

Choose 3 leaderships/team skills they will be working on. If you are able to write these on a whiteboard that might help. Suggested skills could include:
- the PL acting as a guide rather than a 'do-er'. So PL not allowed to touch anything, can only use their voice to coach and help others
- getting in the habit of planning as a team before starting anything
- taking time to reflect after every activity, see how they can do better and improve next time
- avoiding anger and blame as these do not make teams get better next time

Explain that at each base they will follow the following format:
- leader explanation
- 3 minutes to plan how they will do the base
- 10 minutes to try it
- a break to discuss what worked well and what didn't (both in terms of the activity itself, and how they worked as a team)
- try again and DO BETTER

Supervising leaders to observe teamwork and behaviours and give diplomatic feedback as needed.
