Staff Survivor

The ultimate team challenge! Put your communication skills to the test with survivor-style challenges

Educational Goal/Jewish Value

Working together to complete a task.

Recommended Location

Outdoor

Directions

• Start with a blindfolded hike to frog island.
• Once there, each group needs to come up with tribe name and theme that is something they all have in common. Example: Pasta tribe because everyone likes pasta in the group.
• Each group must attempt to pitch a tent in 5-10 minutes. Very high pressure. Winners get food. Losers must spin in a circle 3 times.
• Each group has to rowboat out to the middle of the lake and back. The people rowing must row at the command of the people not rowing. When they get back to land they must solve a riddle. Winners get more food. Losers must spin in a circle 3 more times.
• Both teams will go to tribal council but instead of voting someone out, they discuss what did and did not work in their challenges in terms of communication.

Materials
