Early in an undergraduate management course it is difficult to get teams through the forming stage using traditional classroom methods. Interactions are often stiff and awkward between group members. Challenge course type activities can serve as an icebreaker for a new team and help begin conversations about group dynamics. This session will demonstrate the Caterpillar Obstacle Course exercise where teams are challenged with completing a variety of tasks as a team. This activity builds on individual activities from other sources, adds new activities and can be accomplished in less than an hour in the classroom environment. Volunteers will be asked to attempt the activity during the session.
