Marble Run

Marble Run is a team-building activity where participants must collaborate to design and construct a complex track for a marble. The goal is to create a track where the marble can roll from start to finish using various materials to create a smooth and extended run.

Game Outline:


Team Formation: Participants are divided into teams of 3 to 6 people. Material Distribution: Each team receives a set of materials such as cardboard tubes, plastic ramps, wooden blocks, scissors, tape, cartons, and rubber bands. Design and Construction: Teams have a limited time (typically 45 to 60 minutes) to design and build their track using the provided materials. Testing and Racing Phase: Once the time is up, each team tests their track by placing a marble on it to see if it can roll from start to finish without interruption.

Competitive Elements and Variations:


Rolling Duration: 
  • Longest Run: The track where the marble rolls the longest before stopping earns points.
  • Smoothness: Tracks where the marble rolls smoothly and without interruption can receive additional points for smoothness.

Creativity and Design: 
  • Aesthetics: Award points for the most creative or aesthetically pleasing track. Encourage teams to decorate their track with the available materials.
  • Innovation: Reward teams for the most innovative construction solutions or ingenious mechanisms incorporated into their track.

Stability and Safety: 
  • Strength: Test the stability of the track by adding extra weights. The team whose track remains stable under pressure earns additional points.
  • Safety: Evaluate the safety and reliability of the construction. Tracks demonstrating solid and secure construction can receive bonus points.

Collaboration and Communication: 
  • Teamwork: Award points based on the observation of collaboration and communication within each team during the construction phase.

A classic and fun project management exercise where collaboration and communication are key!
