Teambuilding

Today is the third day which is also the last day of orientation in my college.Today we had a teambuilding session which enabled us to know each other better.I was so happy today because i didn't need to wear that formal clothes cause we were asked to wear more casualiy.YES!!! I was so nervous before that because i didn't know what would happen in the teambuilding session.Finally,the teambuilding started around 9 in the Multi Purpose Hall.First,we were asked to line up according to our birthday without saying a word....Gosh It's hard,but finally i was standing at the right place^^.This told us the importance of communication,especially when we are working in a group in the future.Then,some crazy games were held.After we had divided into 8 groups,they put a hula hoop in front of each group and a hula hoop in the centre of the hall with a lot of balls inside.They told us to imagine all the other group as competitors in hotel industry and told us to snatch as many ball as we can and put it into our hula hoop.And guess what happened next.Chaos....Everyone were fighting for the balls and my group got the least...This told us the importance of teamwork and coorporation.The next game was almost as same as the last game,but the scenario was different.They told us to imagine the other groups as other departments in a hotel and the rules was as same as the last game.This time,after a round of fighting and snatching,we got more balls in our hula hoop.But actually the aim of the game was to tell us the importance of all departments work together in a hotel in order to make more profits.HAHA!!!I'm so stupid,why i didn't think about that?!Next,we had a "Human Machine"session.This game requires creativity because we had to form a machine(Eg.TV,Car..)by using all our group member...My group performed a toaster,other groups performed car washing machine,telephone,blender...The last game was a little bit to exicting.First,They tied 4 hula hoops on the top of the hall.The,my group(Group 8) were told to merge with group 7.The task was to carry everyone in the group through the hula hoop!!!WOW!!!That was......The boys started first because the girls were so scared that the boys would take advantage on them.But finally,we did it.WOW!!!When it's my turn,i was so scared because i was afraid that they couldn't support my weight.But all the strong guys managed to carry me through the hula hoop and brought me down safely.Pheew....When i was carried by them,i really believe in the aim of this game-TRUST.You have to trust that they could carry and bring you down safely.Just like in a team work,when you give your team mate a job,you have to trust him that he can accompish it well.The teambuilding ended aroung 12.30pm.Generally,I've learnt a lot of things today and i hope that i can make use of it somewhere in the future.
