Mousetrap Trust Sequence Activity
Mousetrap Trust Sequence: Building Trust and Communication Through Creative Challenge
The Mousetrap Trust Sequence is a favorite activity for groups working on trust and shared communication. Trust is challenging to build but can be lost in an instant—this engaging sequence invites participants to partner up and navigate a journey that enhances communication, mutual support, and awareness of behaviors that impact trust in the workplace. It delivers the same emotional intensity as classic trust falls or leaps of faith, but with less physical and mental risk.
Mouse traps, traditionally used for catching rodents, are reimagined here as symbols of inventiveness, risk-taking, and the delicate nature of trust and communication. They serve as powerful tools to illuminate the thoughts and feelings that drive team behaviors.
