Team Goal Setting Challenge

Setting a goal is easy. Revising it under pressure, with a group watching, is something else entirely. Toll Booth Boogie is a team goal-setting activity that makes that process visible and measurable across multiple timed rounds. Active, prop-intensive and packed with material for a rich debrief. A standout active team-building challenge for corporate teams, schools and outdoor programs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Mark a start line and a finish line using rope or webbing, about 10 metres (30′) apart.
  • Arrange 30 hula hoops between the lines in five rows of six. Each hoop represents a toll booth.
  • Place one numbered spot marker (1-30) face down inside each hoop. Ensure each row has at least one odd and one even number.
  • Challenge your group to travel as a team from start to finish, passing only through hoops with an even-numbered spot marker.
  • Before physically passing through any hoop, a participant must first flip its face-down spot marker to reveal the number.
  • If the number is even, the hoop may be used. If the number is odd, move laterally to another hoop in the same row and flip its marker.
  • Spot markers may remain face up once flipped.
  • Everyone must pass through at least one hoop per row before the group can advance to the next row.
  • To pass through a hoop, each person must physically move their body through it – lifted from head to toe, toe to head, or stepped through vertically.
  • Before round one, ask the group to set and record a time goal.
  • Start the timer when the first person crosses the start line; stop it when the last person crosses the finish line.
  • After the first round, give the group time to plan. Run three to five rounds in total.
  • When ready, lead a group discussion to invite your group to reflect on their experience.
