Tongo’s Tower™
APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF TEAMWORK
Tongo’s Tower is an experiential activity that provides participants with opportunities to apply teamwork principles. The program helps participants understand their role on a team and provides them with tools to unleash the potential that lies within each individual member and the team as a whole.
The Experience: There once was an aboriginal tribe deep within the heart of the Amazon that was lost to history as the world came into the twentieth century. That tribe was known by others in the Amazon as the Tongo Tribe. Since the tribe’s extinction, explorers have come upon ancient Tongo sites and have been fascinated by what they have seen.
One common feature at all of the Tongo sites is a tall tower in the center of the village. Tongo’s Tower is a fun and engaging activity where participants try and use their teams to create a tall “tower” using common items.
