Students in Mr. Sherman’s fifth grade classes got a break from the classroom on August 28 and when they took their lesson outside for an interactive assignment.
The Lava Lake Team Building/Problem Solving Activity is a popular, engaging small group initiative activity which provides a rich teamwork challenge for about 30-45 minutes. The exercise involves thinking, imagination, action, fantasy, risk and finding an attractive solution.
“There are invariably plenty of key communications and decisions during the exercise that provide for fruitful debriefing,” Mr. Sherman says. “The exercise will tend to naturally expose processes and issues related to many aspects of teamwork, including cooperation, communication, trust, empowerment, risk-taking, support, problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership, but best of all… it’s fun!”
