Team building exercises for kids, are a little different from those of
adults. The games have to be quicker and a little more “fun” orientated.
Children have a limited attention span, which makes it harder for them
to pay attention for long periods of time; this makes the ice breakers
and games for children more upbeat and active. Keeping children active
is the very best way to keep them interested. Team building activities
for kids can take place out side or inside, depending on the activities
you choose for the group. Below are a few great ideas for children team
building.
Team building exercises for kids
Catch me if you can! Players should be paired up. All players divide into
two lines (facing in) shoulder to shoulder, with partners facing each
other. Participants should be given
approximately 30 seconds to look at their partners, taking in all details
about the
individual. The leader then instructs the two lines to turn and face away
from the
center. One or both lines has 15-20 seconds to change something about
their
appearance (i.e. change a watch to different wrist, unbutton a button,
remove a
belt, etc.). The change must be discrete, but visible to the partner. The
players
again turn in to face each other and have 30 seconds to discover the
physical
changes that have been made. Players get to interact with each other
and have
fun!

Jelly bean trade: Everyone is handed 10 jelly beans. They are to try to
get 10 of one color by trading with other people one at a time. First
person to get all ten of a color they want wins.
Knots: Have group members stand shoulder to shoulder in a circle.
Instruct the members to put their right hand in and grasp the hand of
someone across from them (not beside them). The members should
now put their left hand in and grasp the left
hand of someone across from them (not the same person they have
holding your
right hand!) Now the members must get out of the knot without
someone letting go
of the hands
Nominations: Split your group into 3 teams. The facilitator will
announce a category. Each team
must then nominate a single member to demonstrate their talent.
Collecting at the
front, the nominees will perform individually.
