I like the magic carpet story.
This is their magic carpet.
Another variation using a single magic carpet is to begin the activity with a single person and gradually add additional team members each time the carpet is flipped over.
The magic carpet teambuilding activity is easy to lead and requires simple and easy to obtain props.

Once everyone is settled tell the group they are going on a magic carpet ride and have just risen 100 feet into the air.

I used the idea of a magic carpet ride to transport them to the country use a colourful blanket as the carpet we closed our eyes and imagined the journey i thne showed them on a globe where we had come from and where we had landed.
Everyone should help anyone who s new to join in.
Create groups of 6 to 10 people and provide each team with a magic carpet a tarp measuring 5 feet x 5 feet.

A substantially different solution is possible if the facilitator mentions that each participants feet must be.

Once their carpet is ready the team should jump aboard and get ready to go.

Start with a large tarp and see how many times the group can fold it in half and all be on it.
