Energetic Team Challenge for Group Coordination & Focus: Moonball
Energetic Team Challenge for Group Coordination & Focus: Moonball is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- The group’s goal is to keep the beachball aloft for as long as possible by hitting it.
- Success is measured by counting the number of hits used to keep the ball aloft.
- Announce an initial target, of say, 34 for the group to attain.
- To govern fair play and to record a valid score:
- - An individual cannot hit the beachball twice in succession;
- - A point is scored each time someone hits it with their open palm; and
- - As soon as the ball touches the ground, the count goes back to zero.
- Your group may have as many attempts as you have allotted time for this task.
- Moonball Energetic team challenge to explore cooperation & goal-setting.
