Boat Building as Team Building The Kon Tiki Challenge
Boat building can be a great team building activity, and our "Kon Tiki Challenge" is certainly far more sophisticated than the old "poles and drum" raft build. Works brilliantly on hotel resort pools and lagoons or any body of of flat and safe water.
The Kon Tiki Challenge
Each team receives highly specialised equipment, tools and blueprints for the construction of their very own boat. Not just a flimsy "kid's camp style raft" but a very sturdy and very real "boat".
If teams collaborate, communicate and execute well the boat they build is incredibly seaworthy and reliable (more than capable of what they will be asked to do with them). Teams are initially surprised at the materials they have to build with, but with some genuine teamwork and leadership (and the best systems and plans) anything is possible!
This is a highly engaging and "hands-on" challenge where teams are justifiably proud of the outcome.
Kon Tiki can be delivered within many different themes (e.g. Pirate, Military, Polynesian).
Group Size: 5 and up
Duration: 2 - 3 hours
Venue: Build indoors or outdoors, race indoor or outdoors subject to venue pool / lagoon availability.
Key Themes: Teamwork, leadership, communication, use of good systems, perseverance, cross-functional working, team roles, agile, fun.
