Holey Plank

Holey Plank is an engaging team-building activity designed to foster collaboration, agility, and effective communication within a group. In this dynamic game, participants work in pairs, facing each other and holding planks attached to strings. The planks are unique because they feature systematic holes, making it challenging for teams to keep balls from falling through them. The objective of the game is to successfully maneuver the balls through the holes in the planks, passing them from one pair to the next until the final pair can drop them into a container.

The primary goal of Holey Plank is to encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability among participants while having a fun and interactive experience. By navigating the systematic holes in the planks, teams must demonstrate effective communication and coordination to prevent the balls from dropping.

Key Learning Outcomes:
