The All Aboard Challenge

All aboard is a fantastic and amazing exercise to challenge your group to creatively encourage the best strategy and planning.

It is also an activity to practice problem solving and test physical skills.

First, lay a 1m x 1m wooden platformon a flat surface in front of your group. Then, challenge your group to support as many people as possible on the platform without touching the ground for a period of 5 seconds.

When ready, allow up to 15 minutes to complete the task or other time as will challenge your group.

Process your group’s experience at the conclusion of the task.
