Re: Do’s and Don’t for Large Group Game Playing

Hi Marty- the name of this team building game is Helium Stick.

You play it be lining up in two rows which face each other.

Give them the Helium Stick- a long, thin, lightweight rod such as pvc pipe.

Ask participants to point their index fingers and hold their arms out.

Lay the Helium Stick down on their fingers.
Get the group to adjust their finger heights until the Helium Stick is
horizontal and everyone's index fingers are touching the stick.

The challenge is to lower the Helium Stick to the ground.

Each person's fingers must be in touching the Helium Stick at all times. Pinching or grabbing the
pole in not allowed - it must rest on top of fingers.

Everyone's fingers MUST be touching the Helium Stick!

It sounds easy but the stick seems to float to the top until the group works diligently to lower it to the ground. The trick is that the collective upwards pressure created by everyone's fingers tends to be greater than the weight of the stick. As a
result, the more a group tries, the more the stick tends to 'float' upwards.

I like this team building activity because it doesn't require a lot of equipment or advance preparation. Hope it's fun for your family.

Thanks!

We played this game at my baby shower & tailored it to pregnancy and babies. Baby laugh- snickers, umbilical cord- twizzlers, epidural- lifesavers. These can get pretty fun at different events!

Great idea- especially being able to "fill in the blank"- an idea that even reluctant poets can be successful at. Thanks Jan for the fun idea.
