Puppet Master Team Activity: Coordinate, Create, and Lead Together

The puppet master activity is rich in real-world parallels. It builds workplace skills through a creative and physical metaphor of control, coordination, and teamwork.

Key Takeaways:

• Team Coordination
  Each puppet requires multiple operators to move in sync, mirroring the importance of collaboration in teams.

• Creative Problem-Solving
  Teams must design and build custom systems to animate their puppet, pushing them to think outside the box.

• Strategic Planning
  With limited materials and time, teams must plan efficiently, delegate tasks, and execute their vision.

• Communication & Feedback
  Success depends on constant interaction and real-time adjustments among team members.

• Leadership & Trust
  Every team needs clear direction and trust in execution to ensure smooth movement—just like in a real workplace.

This coordination-based team activity is ideal for innovation workshops, leadership programs, cross-functional team exercises, and any event aiming to foster collaboration and cohesion.
