Dots: Each participant is given a colored dot that is placed on their forehead. Without talking, they have to find out what color their dot is and find others who have the same color dot. the students stick together until their are 4 in the group. They then introduce themselves and a new dot is placed on their forehead. They repeat the activity.
Life Boats: The group has to react as quickly as possible to the commands called out by the facilitator. The last to react is out of the game. However, each team has 4 life preservers. If a teammate is last they can give the person a life preserver and pull them back into the life boat. At round 3, I have them complete a task as a team to work on team building.
Categories: The facilitator calls out categories and participants have to arrange themselves according to that category. I give students cards that follow the standards we are learning. They may need to sequence themselves, solve math problems, etc.
