The Bridge of beer crates is a Group dynamics game and a Coordination game.

Equipment

Each group requires:

  • 3 beer crates (or any other kind of stable crate)
  • 2 wooden boards

Procedure

The first step is to build the "bridge": the beer crates are positioned with a distance in between and the two boards are placed on two crates so that they form a bridge. The group members then step onto the bridge.

The task is the following: move forward as a group and with the whole bridge. Hence, the last beer crate and one board are taken up and passed on to the top in order to attach the bridge there.

If the task is too difficult due to the length of the boards, additional ropes may be provided.
