Lost on a Desert Island

Objective: Lost on a Deserted Island is a approachable teambuilding activity that helps people to
open up and share a little bit about themselves and what they enjoy or value.
Age: Thirteen and up
Group size: Medium group, although small and large are possible
Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Materials: None
Activity: The situation is dire - following a shipwreck, everyone has been stranded on a deserted
island. Each person is allowed to bring one object to the island - ideally, something that
represents them or something that they enjoy. The first part of this icebreaker is simple: each
person is asked to describe what object they would bring with them and why. This need not be
realistic; if someone loves music, he or she might choose to bring a guitar, or an animal-lover
might choose to bring a dog, a food-lover might choose to bring sirloin steaks, and so on.
Encourage people to be creative.
After everyone has introduced their object and explained why they have chosen that object,
the teambuilding portion follows: divide into smaller groups and ask everyone to work
together to improve their chances of survival by combining the various objects that they
have introduced. If necessary, you can add more objects, but be sure to use all the objects that
everyone mentioned. If you wish, you can reward the most creative group with a prize.
