Planks Team Building Game - International Delivery

What is the Planks Game?

The Planks team building game is a high-performance team activity suitable for a number of learning and development interventions, including:

leadership development
continuous improvement training
exploring high-performance in teams
selection and assessment
general team building
reviewing and debriefing

The task brief is simple – to develop a fast and reliable assembly process/method for the components given. To be successful, teams must engage in a number of effective team behaviors, specifically:

problem-solving, collaborating, and aligning
delegating, supporting, and coaching
clear leadership
assigning clear roles and responsibilities
reviewing and debriefing team performance
the sharing of learning and mistakes

Ideal group size: 6-8 people plus any observers. For larger groups, we recommend having multiple units/builds at the same time. This can add an element of inter-team competition or collaboration, creating high levels of energy and a rich learn experience for the debrief.

The Planks activity comes in two sizes:

Standard (4kg)- ideal for construction on either the floor or large tables. The longest piece is 96cm.
Travel-light (2kg) – ideal for the traveling trainer and construction on smaller tables. The longest piece is 48cm.
