Does gaining
more points at the expense of others make for a winning team?
It may not. Can an individual resist 'group-think' and
stand their ground even if it is an unpopular position? This
game helps your team find out these issues and more.
Team Decisions
- Win or Lose? is an educational game that allows classrooms to
explore the dynamics of peer pressure, teamwork, and
important dynamics of decision making.
Teams have to
make what seems to be an easy decision - however,
within a structured environment and the natural tendency to
'win' - the teams soon experience the difficulty in making sound
choices for the benefit of all. As in real life,
what appears to be an easy path is often filled with unknown
obstacles.
Participants will find that even in small groups, and in
apparently harmless situations, that group dynamics and
personalities often affect an outcome. Applying the
lessons learned in this game can help individuals understand how
diverse personalities can come together for sound decisions - or
separate themselves with stubborn thought and unfounded biases.
Teachers, business
leaders, youth group leaders, and counselors can use this game for any situation
where individuals must learn to work together. Discussions can be
built upon game highlights. This game allows immediate feedback
with the opportunities to demonstrate group dynamics and other
valuable team lessons during the game.
