Stonehenge Plus!™ | Negotiation Training Activity

• Allows teams to practise bartering and influencing skills
• Highlights the importance of planning for negotiations
• Encourages teams to have a negotiation strategy and team roles
• Tests ethics and honesty of team members
• Assesses whether teams can break down natural barriers in order to work together

Teams have mixed colours of ‘stone’ but have to build Stonehenge in pieces of the same colour. But first they have to construct a ‘shield’ to hide their pieces from prying eyes and industrial espionage! Given the roles of Manager, Negotiator, Buyer and Surveyor, teams need to plan their strategy before information-gathering and negotiation periods begin. Can they negotiate with each other to get what they want?

1. Divide participants into four teams.
2. Issue the Briefing Sheets and wood blocks.
3. Let teams study the briefs and allocate roles.
4. Observe teams in action.
5. At the end of the activity, lead a discussion on team performances and learning outcomes.
