This teambuilding activity benefits teachers of all grades and subjects in the local community. Before the activity begins, our lead facilitator shares information about the beneficiary of the event, and then explains that teams must compete in high energy and interactive challenges, in which the team that tallies the most points wins! First, the “Human Scrabble” consists of teams selecting letters to try and form words with the highest point value. In the “Character Book Match” challenge, teams match books and the characters associated with their books in a timed challenge. “English 101” tasks teams with multiple face-off challenges in which the last member standing is determined the winner. In “Tower of Power,” teams participate in a STEM education design challenge to create the tallest tower possible. Lastly, math skills are put to the test with a trivia style challenge. Team scores are accumulated resulting in the overall winning team. However, the real winners are the educators benefiting from teacher kits assembled by the teams, each with messages of thanks!
