Does anyone have any good resources to help prepare for teamwork stations? I know you can't really "prepare" for them but it'd be nice to hear a few examples to get an idea of what to expect. The only example I have been able to find is the drawing station and I'm assuming that is not the only way the teamwork stations are structured.

I usually make a point to recognize other people's input so it doesn't look like I'm not engaged or think their ideas are valuable.

This book has examples of the various types of MMI stations, the kindle/ipad app version is $10.00
 
The idea of MMIs is that you can't really prepare for them and the non-disclosure agreement makes it even harder - you shouldn't have even heard about the drawing activity. Anyway, you have to be good at working with others. This doesn't happen overnight.
 
It'll be easy and fun, don't stress.
 
Yeah don't overthink it. Finish whatever task at hand. Have fun. Joke around. Just be a pleasant person to interact with and you'll be ayt.
 
You're not being tested on whether you're able to completely finish the task or if fun questions are asked, not whether you answer them all correctly. Like others said, they're trying to see how you interact with others.

I originally thought teamwork stations were dumb from an interviewer's stand point. But when I had to collaborate with another interviewee on a fun activity, I saw what a bad interview looked like. The vein on my partner's forehead looked like it was about to burst and she was visibly sweating. She was that stressed about the activity. So relax, be nice to your partner(s), be engaged and try and act like a fun/normal person.
