Card Making Relay downline challenge

I've been saving this fun game idea until after I presented it at Leadership Conference during a Business Share session on Downline Retention. It's the perfect team-building challenge for your next downline meeting--and loads of fun as well as a learning experience!

The goal: each team will create a single card together, using only the supplies in the box, within a given time frame (10 minutes works well).

Set up: prepare two boxes (or more, if your group is large and you will have more than two teams) with identical stamping supplies inside. They should have everything they need to make a typical card--only there is no sample card. They have no idea what it is supposed to look like. There is no "right" answer here--they will "win" because they are learning to work together.

You will also need a stopwatch, and if you will be judging the finished results, a prize.

To play: divide the group into teams and give one box to each team. Once the supplies are out and the stop watch is clicked, the team members must pass the card around the table as each person does ONE step. They can only add ONE element to the card before they must pass it on. A punch counts as a step, a stamp, a layer, a fold, etc.

They can verbally encourage each other and communicate, but must rely on the other members to do their part and be open to others' visions. Whatever is handed back to them when it comes around full circle, they must work with. The card may go around the circle several times or just once, depending on how many people there are in the group. The game ends when the time is up.

Try this fun challenge at your next meeting and help your downline grow together as a team. By giving them opportunities to foster group unity and camaraderie, you will be increasing the likelihood that members will stay involved and active in the group for more reasons than just their love of stamping.

Dream BIG!
