The object of this game is to create a machine out of the each team member (for example, a ceiling fan, hot air balloon, watch, etc.).
Each person is accountable for one noise and one motion of the machine. The team members should then put their motions and sounds together to create a the complete machine. Teams may have 3 minutes to prepare and up to 5 minutes to present their solution.
At random (or team selected) person starts by demonstrating their machine, and one-by-one, other team members join until all the team members are in some way connected and demonstrating their machine.
Optionally, points could be given on creativity, how well the individual machines work together and how well the machines integrate with each other. (Remember: This is for team building!).
The Team Manager can debrief the team after a few tries to discuss what went well and what they would change if they could do it again. (Then do it again!).
