Team Building Activity: Pipeline

You might have been on two or more parties or gatherings that had simple games as part of their program and one of them would be relaying.





Aside from forming activities from scratch in team building programs, facilitators take simple activities as inspiration and level it up a few notches or more. One of which is the Pipeline and here’s how you do it.
