The Professional Development Avenue has organized a teambuilding session for the club on 1st of October 2005 at canteen of Methodist Boy Primary School. Methodist Boy Secondary School was also invited to join so our members will have opportunity to get to know and establish long-term relationship with them. This teambuilding exercise was attended by 18 participants in total and conducted on voluntary basis by Tuan Haji Tajodin Bin Haji Sanusi, a professional trainer by profession.

The programme started with Listening Test Riddles, whereby each participant was given a sheet containing 5 common sense riddles. This is to get the participants to start their thinking gear and to team up for answers, as two heads are always better than one. Then, the participants were being ushered to field and divided into two teams for Acid River and Snake Dice.

In Acid River, the participants were given 5 plates to cross the acidic river from point A to point B and competing with the other group as to who will get to point B first. The winning team won not because of their physical ability but they had strategized on maximizing each plate to carry across their whole team within the shortest time.

Intense discussion

Meanwhile, in Snake Dice, the two teams were given one huge dice and everyone was blindfolded expect for leaders. On the count of three, each team had to roll the dice and move forward or backward simultaneously according to the dice. The winning team will be the one to reach the finishing point. Although, the dice could not be control but with followers who understand and follow instructions in unison is the key to wining the game. As the saying goes by Thomas Edison, “I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.”

Getting ready for Snake Dice game

Towards the end of this game, rained started pouring so we heed back to canteen for Lego time. In Lego session, Tuan Haji divided the participants into five groups. They were supposed to replicate the construction of logo hidden in an isolated room. Thus, each member from each team will be given 5 minutes in the isolated room to memorize and build the logo together. At the end of each activity, the participants were to reflect and jot down lessons learnt from it. The feedbacks received were it was fun and gaining knowledge at the same time, but lack of participants that could not made up the numbers for the training to be more effective.
