Toy Factory Produce toys for disadvantaged youth
Program outline
See your colleagues unite as they project manage a conveyor belt of tasks and dedicate their talent to producing toys for disadvantaged youngsters
Whether positioned in a conference breakout session or the company workplace, Toy Factory is a flexible and new approach to teambuilding that upholds a community conscience.
Provided with a mixed bag of whacky wooden parts teams are challenged to combine components and produce a range of high quality children’s toys. Three-dimensional blueprints guide participants through the process and detail a whole gamut of toy designs.
Not only is quality output important, success in Toy Factory is also measured in delivering the goods to deadline. Teams must work together to stay on target.
The planning stagesees the group indentifying components, managing the flow, taking individual responsibility and forming a production line. Once quality checked,the toys are then creatively decorated with company colours or brand livery if the client chooses
In the second phase some out of the box thinking is required as teams are also tasked with creating engaging and educational games using the newly assembled toys. A fun informal finale allows each team to take stage in turn and demonstrate unique activities that maximize the play value of their toys.
The toys and any game material will all be donated to a local children’s charity, school or home.
Learning and development outcomes
