An exercise about hand-offs. Each team builds one half of a bridge from cardboard, tape and rope — but they can only see their own half until the very end. The bridge has to span and hold weight at the join.
How to run it
- 1
Two teams in two separate rooms (or behind a screen).
- 2
Each team gets identical materials and the same brief: bridge a 2m gap, hold a 2kg weight.
- 3
45 minutes to build. They may send written messages between rooms but no visits.
- 4
Bring both halves out. Try to join them. Hilarity, then learning.
