We often hear senior leaders articulating inspiring visions for their teams below. But however compelling the pitch may be, at times people down the line are left wondering. "How exactly will my piece contribute to this grand vision?" Very often, the roles and contributions of individuals down the line seem miniscule and insignificant in comparison to the awe-inspiring numbers and achievements that the team as a whole is gunning for.
Pushpin Challenge ensures that while each team member is completely focused on getting their part right, they can also see their contribution towards the overall goal or the big picture.
What can you do with push pins? Plenty, if you and your team know where to poke around. A team activity that gets every single person in the team to come together and contribute to creating a large mural entirely created using push pins.
Large teams are broken up into smaller units, who are then challenged to play the role of artists. All the equipment they would possibly need is handed to them: pushpins, canvases, easels, et al. Each team is then challenged to exhibit their skills and creativity and express them on the canvas board. Like all time-based challenges, this one too pulsates with energy as teams discuss and debate color combinations. Roles and responsibilities get quickly allocated as teams discover hidden talents and core strengths.
