Activity Description:
Participants in a circle. The task is to pass a ball (volley, soccer)hand to hand as fast as they can. Ask for a volunteer to start the exercise. In a card board mark the time achieved. Now the ball has to go around as many times as there are participants (15 people = 15 times) with a rule; each time the ball must be passed in a different way (by hand, kicking, jumping).
Ask the group how fast they expect to accomplish the task. Watch the exercise, put some pressure urging for speed (usually they under pressure throw the ball away from the circle, loose it, etc.). At the end record the time and challenge the group to improve their productivity (their time). give them 10´ to discuss what they did wrong and what can be improved. Start again. Now the group will come out with a much better score cheering their progress.
Close the exercise discussing the importance of planning, teamwork and the ability to resist to external pressures to obtain gains in productivity. (learned from a colleague, Ademir Rossi, and apllied a number of times)
