    Teacher Team-Building Practices

    The start of the new school year means you're more than likely to see some new faces
    among the teaching staff. To help get to know these teachers, learn facts about teachers and
    make them feel comfortable, ________________________________tries a few team-building
    activities. These activities will not only increase faculty morale, but student performance as well.

    Research has shown that when school or district incorporate team-building strategies into
    their schools, it creates a sense of belonging, encourages tolerance and team spirit, improves
    communications skills, and creates an atmosphere of community. Here are a few team-building
    activities to try with.

    Title Activities
    This easy team-building activity is a great way for teachers to
    get to know their colleagues on a more personal level and
    determine common facts about teachers. Here's how it
    works: Teachers arrange their chairs into a circle and each
    Who am I? person is directed to write down one interesting fact about
    themselves. Next, the papers are tossed into a bowl and
    shuffled up. The object of this activity is for each teacher to
    pull out a card and guess whose interesting fact they are
    reading.
    Have You Ever is an interactive team-building game that
    gets you up and moving around. To play this game,
    arrange the chairs into a circle. Then choose one person
    to start the game by having them stand in the middle of
    the circle. Their job is to say "Have you ever … "For
    Have You Ever
    example, "Have you ever participated in a 5k run?" All of
    the teachers that have participated would then stand up
    and find a new seat to sit in. The others who did not stand
    up would then take turns being the one asking the
    question.
    This activity is a great way to create team bonding and
    practice communication skills among colleagues. This is
    how it works: Each person is paired with a partner, and
    their goal is to find five things that they have in common
    with one another. Once the list is completed, each person
    Six Degrees of Separation
    must find a new partner who shares at least one of the
    things on their list. Then, their goal is to make a new list of
    five things in common. This continues until everyone has
    met in the classroom, or each person has at least one
    thing in common with everyone in the room.
    This edible and fun team-building exercise has been used
    in school districts across the country. Have each teacher
    Candy Confessions choose three pieces of candy from a variety of candies
    that are displayed on the table. Once they have chosen
    their favorites put up the following chart.
    Chocolate Kisses = Number of years teaching
    Candy Confession Chart
    M&M's = Where you live
    Gum = Information about your family

    Sweet Tarts = Favorite movie

    Kit Kat = Share anything

    Have each person take turns using the chart to speak to


    the rest of their colleagues about themselves. This activity
    is a fun way to eat, share and bond.

    This ridiculously hard, but fun team-building activity is a


    great way for teachers to quickly learn each other's
    names. Tell participants that they have three minutes to
    line up alphabetically by last name. Then tell them they
    must line up without speaking to one another. This sounds
    Please Line Up
    next to impossible, right? Well it isn't. There are usually at
    least one or two familiar faces that know each other to
    help get the line started. Then, from there, teachers will
    use hand gestures or whatever else they can think of to
    quickly get in line.
