Trust building games
Trust building games challenge and improve the trust among the members of teams. The members of the groups should already know each other and have thus developed a certain level of trust, that can be strengthened by those games. Be sure to use such games only on well-established groups or start with ice breaker games. While trust building games always challenge (and hopefully, improve) the trust in groups, group dynamics games usually challenge the teams with other tasks (like puzzles).
When a player has to trust his partners in the group during such a game, it is vitally important that his trust is not betrayed.

- Roly-poly toy (or Tumbler)
One player is standing in the center of a close circle formed by his partners. He tenses his muscles and let's himself tumble to one side. The players there have to catch him in time and put him in an upright position again.
