The Running Man Race – There Is No ‘I’ in Teamork

Programme Content

Based on the KOREAN Reality Show, this version of The RUNNING MAN, brings out the best in teams.

Though the GOAL for this game is for the team to win the game by amassing as many points as possible through overcoming various challenges and by possessing the Code of Arms of various other teams, something amazing always happens before the game ends.

Initially divided into many sub-teams, the natural tribe mentality and competitive instincts kick in.

Each team begins to scheme and plan to outsmart the other and attempt to ‘snatch’ and ‘grab’ each others ‘highly prized possessions’ – their Team Code of Arms (drawn on a sticker) that is stuck on the backs of (selected or every) team members.

The winning team in the end is the one that is able to cooperate the best with all the other teams; and that’s the real lesson in this activity – with cooperation, we ALL win really BIG!!

Learning Outcomes:

1. To cooperate as a team,
2. The importance of voicing out and sharing ideas

4. To be responsible for each other’s welfare and safety as a team
5. To do what is necessary (often stepping outside the box) to help the team win
