Energetic Group Initiative for Timing & Strategy - Turnstyles is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Gather your group in a wide, open and flat space.
- Extend a skipping rope between you and a volunteer.
- With your group standing to one side of the rope, start rotating the rope.
- Challenge your group to pass to the other side of the rope, one person at a time, without touching the rope.
- Next, repeat the task, but this time, each person must jump the rope as they pass.
- One new person must jump each consecutive rotation of the rope.
- With each successful, consecutive jump, the group scores a point.
- If the rope rotates fully without a new person jumping it, the count returns to zero.
- Turnstyles Energetic group initiative focused on timing & team strategy.
