The Egg Drop challenge is a popular team-building activity that involves designing and building a contraption to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a certain height.
Here are the steps to play the Egg Drop team-building activity:
- Divide participants into teams and give each team a raw egg, along with various materials such as straws, rubber bands, Popsicle sticks, paper cups, tape, cotton balls, etc. Each team should have access to the same materials.
- Explain that the goal of the challenge is to design and build a device that will protect the egg from breaking when dropped from a certain height (such as a second-story window or a rooftop).
- Set a time limit for teams to design and build their devices (30 minutes to 1 hour is usually enough time).
- Once the time is up, have each team take turns dropping their device and egg from the predetermined height. If the egg survives the drop without breaking, the team has successfully completed the challenge.
- If any team’s egg breaks, they can try again with a new egg, but with a penalty such as a time deduction or fewer materials to work with.
- After all teams have completed the challenge, have a discussion about the design process and what each team learned from the experience.
Tips:
- Encourage participants to think creatively and work together as a team to come up with the best design.
- Make sure to establish safety rules and guidelines before the egg drop, such as where the drop will take place and how to ensure the safety of all participants.
- Provide a variety of materials to encourage creativity and experimentation.
- The Egg Drop challenge can be a fun and engaging way to promote teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity in a group.
