Team building is not only for adults or co workers, children of all ages
can benefit from team building. The exercises and the activities will
have to be quite a bit simpler; they will also have to be more
simulating, but when done right these team building exercises will
make a huge impact. Students who do team building activities are said
to be more well rounded, trust worthy and caring children, and of
course this means they will grow up to become more productive adults.
When you want to build the team bond of a classroom there are many
steps that you can take, and quite a few ideas that will help your class
become a closer group of children. The first thing that you will want to
do when starting a team building program is some ice breakers. These
are short games and quizzes that will help the children loosen up and
become more comfortable around the others. Some great ideas for ice
breakers are:
Who am I? Get each child to draw or write a few things about
themselves, they can share this with the group. This is a great way to
tell the others about yourself. Children who might not other wise share
will really thrive from this.
Create name tags: Get each child to create a name tag, for another
child. At the end of the activity they will find out who the child is that
they made the name tag for.
2 truths and a lie: Each child must say 3 things about themselves, 2
being true and the other a lie. The group will then have to decide which
is true and which is false.

Team building activities
Some of the best team building activities for children are games. They
will help the children learn about one another in a fun and playful
manor.
Create a banner or flag: This banner of flag can be created by groups of
3 or 4. Each flag will have to say something about each member of the
team. This is a great way to bring all the group personalities into one
place. This will also give them something to show the other groups, and
display when games and activities are going on.
Stacking cups: Stacking cups to create the tallest structure. This
requires a leader and people to follow out the plan. In this game the
group will learn to work together to create the best possible result. The
team with the highest and most complex structure will win.
Although children’s team building requires a lot of time and planning, it
certainly pays off. Children can be hard to get along with and easily
distracted when they do not feel comfortable or at ease. When children
work with a group they will also learn to trust the people around them.
Trust is one of the most important stepping stones in any relationship.
If children can learn how to trust and be trusted early on, they will
become highly involved adults. All of these activities can be done in the
classroom, making it affordable and easy to work on team building
skills.
