Construct a railway & race a train
Mexican Railway is an engaging icebreaker where teams collaborate to build a complex railway system using materials like zip ties and paper rods. After assembling the railway, teams race their trains to the finish, requiring cooperation and synchronisation to succeed. This hands-on activity is perfect for new hires or teams that haven’t fully bonded yet, offering a fun and interactive way to break the ice and build connections.
Mexican Railway fosters teamwork and collaboration, especially in diverse teams, making it ideal for the Middle East, where employees often come from different cultural backgrounds. The activity encourages effective communication, creative problem-solving, and quick thinking, helping participants understand the importance of working together despite differences
Time pressure forced everyone to think on their feet time, communicate purposefully and work together as a team. A lot of laughs!
