Team's Experience

After we had finalised our game, we started to buy the

items needed. Then, we carried out a few pilot tests. We

wanted to study the flow of the game since the time

alloted was approximately 40 minutes for each station.

Time management is very important for this activity.

There have been several instances that during the

programme, one of the facilitators would have to run and

check the main stopwatch held by the whistle- blower.

Since spaghetti strands are fragile, we had to wrap them

up using the bubble plastic and kept them in a plastic

food container. That was done to prevent them from

breaking during our travelling. As for the other items, we

placed them in a

luggage with rollers which enabld us to drag them

around easily.

The team figured out that it would be very interesting to

combine Odd One Out activity and the tower spaghetti-

strand building as the two makes the station’ activity

challenging and yet fun. Personally, facilitating the

station was fun and the team had a great time

conducting it.

However, a word of caution, when placing the

marshmallow onto the spaghetti-strand tower, it is vitally

important that the participants do it on

their own. Failing to do so, the facilitators might be

blamed for the tower collapse.

GAME ON!
