🌊 Free Group Resource: Lost at Sea Survival Exercise
Sharing a free resource that works incredibly well in adult groups — the classic “Lost at Sea” survival ranking exercise.
In this activity, participants imagine they’ve survived a shipwreck and must rank 15 salvaged items in order of importance for survival. First individually, then as a group, they work toward consensus.
On the surface, it’s a straightforward decision-making challenge. In practice, it naturally brings out problem-solving styles, leadership patterns, communication habits, and how people respond under pressure.
If you’re looking for something interactive, adult-appropriate, and easy to run in 30–45 minutes, this is a great addition to your group toolbox.

Love this as an available option when a group therapy session topic runs too quickly and there's lots of time left over!
