Mexican Railway – Ice Breaker Team Building Activity

Mexican Railway is a simple but effective up on your feet team building activity that focuses on collaboration and communication; this activity requires the group to come together and construct a railway like contraption that can carry a ball around the circumference of the team circle using only a  mexican-wave type motion and the newspaper rods and ties provided. The activity gives a great sense of achievement as there’s a lot of strategy involved, and opportunities for the Leaders within the group to take charge and guide the team to success.

What clients say about the Mexican Railway Team Building Activity?

We were really pleased with the two Energisers (the Mexican Railway and the Juggling) that Simon ran at our recent Away Day. They were different and imaginative.
