Teamworking with Spaghetti & Jelly Babies
We have been working recently on our co-operation and teamworking skills. Today we were challenged to build the tallest tower using just jelly babies and sticks of spaghetti. It was harder than it sounds as the spaghetti broke easily and the jelly babies were all sticky. All the teams had to modify their original design plans but we all managed to build something. We were able to “buy” extra spaghetti and jelly babies but it cost points that were deducted from the points scored for the height of our towers.
We found that the team which had argued least during the planning and the actual building phase scored the most points.

Our team really wanted to win! In the end we came second. For me that was good enough I thought it was quite good!
