One fun good one is having them put up a tent with all but one member
blindfolded. The one member who can see is not able to do anything himself
and can only direct. It leads to good teamwork and a lot of fun.

To paint it up a bit the scenario is their plane has crashed on an iceberg
and sunk. They need to set up the tent and get everyone inside withon 10
mins or freeze to death. You tie some ropes together and form a circle
about 1 - 2 metres out from the tent which is the iceberg and if they step
over they drown. All but one person has snow blindness and can not see and
the one who has, broke both hes legs and arms.

Cheers

David
