Sabotage

This is an excellent team building activity that highlights the importance of trust between team members (without having them do the famous trust fall)

Split the group into teams of 4 or 5 persons. Give one complete set of playing cards to each team and ask them to shuffle it well.

Tell the teams that you will be giving an index card to each person. Please check the back of your card, if you find a small “X” printed on the back, then you will be the secret saboteur in your group, your job is to make sure your team fails in their task without anyone on the team suspecting it’s you.

Pass around blank index cards to each person (no index cards will have an “X” printed) Show the below image to the groups and tell them that the winning team is the one that can arrange their cards set flat on the table as per the image in the shortest time.
