This can be done indoors or outdoors, just so long as there is a big open space.
Two long wood boards (same size) with loops on the side for participants to put their feet through and enough loops for 3 to 4 people to use as skis.

1. The skiers will each have their left foot in a loop on the one ski, and their right foot in the loop across from it on the other ski.
2. The skiers must work together to ski a distance of 5 to 15 meters and then ski back to the starting point.
3. Use a stopwatch to time each team.
4. Groups must work together and communicate, so they know when to move each foot.
5. Be sure each participant has the opportunity to ski and complete the task.
6. Discuss the importance of communication, listening and teamwork.

Do not time the participants, just have them complete the task.
If you can get 4 boards, have two group race from a starting point to an end point.
Use a larger or smaller board, depending on the group.
Have all participants but one, close their eyes or be blindfolded, and the one who is not will direct their group to the end and back.
