Tennis Ball Game

Yesterday we did a teambuilding excercise involving two groups and two tennis balls. Each group was assigned a task, which was to get the tennis ball to touch each person in the group and make it back to the initiator as expediently as possible. Our first idea was quite creative, but not incredibly quick. Each group member held one hand in the circle, alternating between facing up or down. We could then hand off the tennis ball without having to flip each individual hand. Our next idea, (which the other group claimed we copied, which is obviously not the case) was for everybody to put their hands in a circle, resembling a cut pizza. We could then simply roll the tennis ball across everybody's hands in a second or two. The next task was the same, except the ball could not touch two different hands at the same time. We came up with the idea to organize our hands to resemble stairs, which was quite effective.
