Tarzan Swing Team Building Activity

Swing Like the Lord of the Apes.

Tarzan did do his fair share of swinging. He would use the limbs and branches of trees like the parallel or uneven bars you see in gymnastics. Tarzan would swing his body back and forth to build momentum so he could hurtle his body through space and to the next limb.

The experience

A team challenge built around moving across a rope-swinging challenge with guidance

Tarzan did do his fair share of swinging. He would use the limbs and branches of trees like the parallel or uneven bars you see in gymnastics. Tarzan would swing his body back and forth to build momentum so he could hurtle his body through space and to the next limb.

Tarzan Swing activity requires the participant to use the tyres to walk across from one end to another, all the while using the rope through which each hangs, for balance and grip.

What the team can practise

Before moving across a rope-swinging challenge with guidance, agree the sequence, roles and check-in points with the facilitator.

Beyond the activity

What teams can take from the Tarzan Swing session

As the group works through the task of moving across a rope-swinging challenge with guidance, preparation and mutual encouragement matter alongside individual effort. A guided reflection can help the group identify how it managed pace, shared information and supported participants as the experience unfolded.

Connect those observations to a real team setting: agree roles before a demanding task, communicate changing conditions and check that people have what they need to contribute.
