Team Building Activity: Moon Ball

Since ancient times Volleyball has been a popular sport among commoners and royalties alike. The game is designed to promote planning and focus. As a team sport, the competitive atmosphere of the game fosters teamwork and harmony. All these factors give perfect sense to creative use volleyball as a team building activity.





A team building activity modeled after volleyball is the Moon Ball. Some facilitators refer to it as Armageddon when it is done with a metaphor.
