details

Put people into groups and explain the following:

You are marooned on an island.
What five (you can use a different number, depending upon the size of each team) items would you have brought with you if you knew there was a chance you might be stranded. Inform the group they are only allowed five items per team, not per person.

You can have them write their items on a flipchart and discuss and defend their choices with the whole group. This activity helps people learn about other’s values and problem-solving styles and promotes teamwork.
