[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 201919, member: 8635"] Don, I was a boy scout leader for many years and one thing that I made that really shows how important teamwork is was a pair of skis. I took two boards that were about six feet long and attached about five ropes to each board that they could slip their feet into. It was like a pair of skis but had foot holds for about five people. I made two sets of these and we would have five people on each set of skis and would have a race that the finish line was only about 10ft away. You could have four big people and one kid and if they all did not act as a team and move at the same time they would all fall like dominoes, even if all the adults moved together and the child didn't they would not go anywhere until that worked as a team. A race that only goes ten feet doesn't seem like much but if you try it you will think it is a very long way to go. It is a GREAT team builder and a heck of a lot of fun. [/QUOTE]
