One of my favorite team building games is
the "Terrorist Toxic Explosive Situation." This is a easy to
perform exercise for both adults or teenagers. The goal is to
decontaminate a can of "toxic" popcorn that has been secretly placed
in the room by terrorists. Your team has to quickly come up with a
plan of action, assemble tools and equipment, transfer the material
into a "safe" container before the "toxic" substance explodes. A
great game to identify the "planners," "doers," and "thinkers," in
your group. It also demonstrates the importance of having a good
plan. Comes with a debriefing questionnaire to help people
understand what went right and what went wrong. A million laughs!

"This is my go-to book for planning
icebreakers for training sessions. Fun and innovative -
they help to start training on a positive note and make
my job easier."

"I want to thank you for your book Ice
Breakers and Teambuilding Exercises. I used two of your
exercises at a recent meeting. The Toilet Paper Tango was
perfect! It was a great way to begin our meeting and helped set
a positive tone for the rest of the two-day session.
The second day of our meeting I used The Paper and
Communication Exercise to drive home the point of effective
communication. It really helped the group understand the
importance of seeking clarity and how to explain things in a
clear fashion.
I have led many meetings in my career and always seem to
be frantically searching for exactly the right exercise. This
book took all that anxiety away and made for not only some great
fun, but some meaningful exchanges with our participants. Again,
thank you so much for sharing this incredibly valuable book with
me."
"This exceptional book
is chock full of exciting and entertaining group
building and meeting start-up exercises. I am
enjoying the wide range of ‘tried and true’
activities. The instructions are clearly
given, and they vary regarding the amount of time
required. In addition, Greg offers stimulating
variations for some of the exercises to focus on
specific needs. As a business leader, this is
a ‘must have’ resource for your library!"

the organization. It isn’t easy; in fact, it takes plenty of energy and
emotion to help people see how their contributions make a difference. But clear purpose and direction—clear alignment—is a
powerful strategy in today’s changing workforce.
