Teamwork Exercise: Key Punch

I like to use the Key Punch Teambuilding Game to address issues of continuous improvement.

In this activity the group is charged with touching all 30 numbered spots as fast as they can.  The team is given five attempts and must complete all attempts within a 30 minute window.  The team is penalized when a number is touched out of order and if the team sends more than one person inside the rope boundary.

I knew of this activity for many years but never led it because I didn't get it.  One day I witnessed a facilitator friend lead this and I've loved this teamwork exercise ever since.  I hope the video helps you get it.

Would you like to lead this teambuilding game with your group?

Hello,

Thank you so much for uploading the video of the game. I read the brief, but the video was the icing on the cake!

Looking forward to using this as one of the games for the team building event I am facilitating on Friday.

I wasn't sure I got it until I watched the video. That made all the difference. Thanks for the help.

This is perfect. I too have heard of this game for years but never understood how it works until I watched this. Now I see why it's such a powerful team building tool.
