Build the Team - 5 x Team building activities!!

Description

Bring energy, laughter, and genuine teamwork into your classroom with this ready-to-use team-building activity pack. Whether you’re settling in a new class, running a form period, or looking for engaging group activities, these five hands-on challenges require minimal materials and zero preparation stress.

Each activity comes with a fully detailed instruction sheet so you can hand it straight to students or run it yourself with confidence.

What’s Included

A 6-page PDF (including cover/index) containing five complete team-building activities:

1. Cup Stack Challenge Teams must stack plastic cups into a pyramid using only a rubber band and strings — no hands allowed! A fantastic problem-solving challenge that gets groups communicating and thinking creatively under pressure.

2. Ball Drop Challenge Working in pairs, students use strings to guide a ping pong ball and drop it into a paper cup below. Simple to set up, surprisingly tricky to master — and guaranteed to get students talking and laughing together.

3. Back to Back Drawing One student draws on another’s back; that student draws what they feel on the next person’s back, and so on down the line. The further it travels, the funnier it gets! A brilliant activity for communication, interpretation, and a lot of laughs. Includes a dice-roll image chart with 36 prompts.

4. I Went to the Shops and Bought… A classic memory and recall game with a competitive twist. Students build a cumulative list in alphabetical order, with each person required to remember everything before them. Easily adapted by theme, complexity, or use of adjectives for differentiation.

5. Team Drawing Teams roll dice to select a target image, then must draw it together using a single pen attached to multiple strings — one string per person. The closest drawing to the target wins! Encourages coordination, communication, and plenty of creative chaos. Includes the same 36-prompt dice-roll image chart.

How to Use
