Tarp or Paper, Thick Masking Tape
Answer Key
===Set Up===
*Create a 10’x10’ grid on the tarp using masking tape. Each square should be 1’x1'. *Create an Answer Key (see example and blank Answer Keys pictured on right)*With smaller groups tape pieces of paper to the ground to form a grid smaller than 10x10, leave leaving 2 inch " spaces around all pieces of paper.  * Note: When doing this activity with children a grid of 3x4 is large enough.
===Directions===
[[Image:Blank_answer_key_for_the_maze_team_building_activity.GIF|center|thumb|300px|right|Blank Answer Key]]The objective of the activity is for the whole group to find their way though the maze. Participants take turns trying out differnt different paths through the maze . Thereis only one correct path through the maze (outlined on the answer key). The path goes left, right,forward or diagonally. Only one participant may enter the maze at a time, trying out onesquare at a time until making an incorrect move. Once a participant makes an incorrectmove, he or facilitator lets her know and she must move back to the beginning and can not go again until all otherparticipants take a turn. After each square the facilitator confirms that the participant hasmade a correct or incorrect move. The team cannot use external materials of any kind(e.g. coins to mark the correct path).
===Variations===
===Debrief Questions===
* How did you determine the correct path? What strategy/ies strategies did you use to remember it?
* How many mistakes (stepping on the wrong square more than once) did you make? Why did that happen? What could have been done to improve it?
* How was the support level of the group? What did it feel like to be in the maze? To make a mistake?
