Group activities, fun games with mental and physical activities, and other team building games can be used to identify individuals with leadership potential. Activities involving competitive and coordinated team effort are usually guided by a true leader who knows how to lead the team, plan strategies, and decides the moves. Here are some interesting leadership games for groups.
Blindfolds and Bombs. In a large and empty room, set up an obstacle course that is two or three feet apart from each other. These can include bottles of soft drinks, bowling pins, or traffic cones. To start the activity, divide the group into two teams, with one team to be blindfolded. Pair the blindfolded with a non-blindfolded team member who will lead him to the obstacle room. The blindfolded player will cross the room at the directions of the other partner. Have one partner go at a time, and introduce gradually the remaining pairs into the course. This will make it quite difficult for individuals who are blindfolded to follow their partner’s instruction because the guides will give their instructions to their respective partners simultaneously. Each time the person in blindfold steps on an obstacle, add 10 seconds to their time. Repeat the activity by asking the players to switch roles. To make these leadership games more challenging, let the players go across the obstacle course backwards, or let the guiding person speak just three or four prearranged words.
Magic Shoes. Leadership games such as “magic shoes” is a challenge for a team to choose a decisive leader to accomplish the goal with teamwork effort. Make 2 lines on the ground at least 8 feet apart and have the participants break into 2 groups, with each team having one pair of “magic shoes.” Instruct the team to gather behind one of the lines and have them cross the lava (the ground they are crossing) with only one person at a time using the “magic shoes” to be able to walk across the lava safely. Each team will be challenged to select a leader who would plan the strategy on how to have the entire team cross without being burned.
These leadership games can provide an environment that is fun among colleagues and friends. Try these in your group and have some fun!
