Team Challenges - 170+ Group Activities to Build Cooperation, Communication, and Creativity

Team Challenges - 170+ Group Activities to Build Cooperation, Communication, and Creativity by Kris Bordessa

Teamwork, problem-solving, creative thinking... it's all in here! Team Challenges is a helpful resource that offers teachers, facilitators, and parents a wide variety of activities designed to cultivate children's problem-solving skills while fostering cooperation between group members.

These hands-on projects teach children to experiment with building methods, discover new uses for everyday items, try on new personas, and express themselves as they work toward a solution as a team. Team members are required to think outside the box (and we love that!), communicate clearly, and cooperate with each other in order to complete each task. Activities include planning a five-day trek through the mountains; building a bridge out of marshmallows, straws, and paper; and moving a group of ping-pong balls from one location to another without touching the balls directly. Children will learn not only from each other, but also from observing how other teams navigate the tasks.

Why We Love It

We absolutely love the activities in this book! They inspire parents and educators to come up with new challenges as well as the challenges that are already in the book. Teaching our children to work together and to exercise their creative, critical thinking skills will help them throughout their lives.
