    Team Building

    Learning Intentions
    • Start to 'Form' our class as a team
    • Build relationships (learn names, etc)
    • Investigate different personalities
    Success Criteria
    • We've learned students' names
    • We've worked together to solve problems
    • We see that all personalities in a team is best
    ABL: team building activities
    We'll take it in turns to run a problem solving challenge (ABL game).
    One idea is the 'Time bomb' game: 

    All form a circle and each say their name.
    One throws a ball to someone, who has 2 seconds to say another’s name and throw the ball to them, before it “explodes” and they are out of the game.  Continue until only one student remains.

    Forming Teams

    Think about what stage our class team is at.
    Here's a short video clip on Stages of Team Formation

      • add a photo of something that represents who you are as a person
      • give info about yourself (eg a strength or skill, something you did that worried you)

    Interpersonal skills
    Communicating effectively is essential if your team is to succeed.
    Communication can fail if:
    - the message is . .
    - the medium is . . .
    - the 'sender' is . . .
    - the 'receiver' is . . .
