Here are 3 little activities we did in the preseason as 'teambuilding':

1. The "egg" drop....pretty self explanatory. We only set a size requirement. We went to the parking garage right next to Northeastern and started at the 1st level. About 1/2 of them survived to get to the top level...which is about 10 stories high. 2 of them made it to the point where we had to remove layers of 'structure' and drop them. The final one was just an egg taped to the inside of a cardboard box....the egg didn't break.

2. The "paper tower"...this one is pretty simple. Who can take XXXX amt of paper and XXXX amt of tape and build the highest tower. You will see all kinds of creative designs with this one. The most effective was the one that used a "W" fold with slowly smaller W's all the way up.

3. The "spaghetti bridge"...this one was mentioned already but we spanned a 10" gap with these guys and slowly added weight to a bucket that was attached to the bridge. Teams were allowed XXXX amt of hot glue sticks and XXXX amt of tape and 1 box of spaghetti.




Hope this helps Jane!
