Not everything that you do with children is going to be easy, team

building with kids certainly can be. The name team building may sound

as if there is much involved, but in reality, children love the games and

the quizzes included in team building. Easy team building activities for

kids can be found in many places: on the web, schools, government

sites and team building corporations. But the important thing to

remember when team building with kids is to make it fun, the minute

the fun leaves the event, the children grow board.

Some great and easy teambuilding activities for children are listed

below:

Candy: Candy Introductions is a get-to-know-you game that helps

people learn new facts about each other in an easy way. They select

various pieces of candy from a bag, and each candy variety is associated

with a fact about themselves which they will introduce to the others.

This game also goes by other names, including the M&M game, Candy

Confessions, the Skittles Game, the Gum Drop game, among others.

Candy Introductions can work with any group size. The icebreaker

works best when the group size is limited to 12, so if you have more

than 12, divide the larger group and run the icebreaker within the

smaller sized groups. This icebreaker works best indoors, and is well

suited for classrooms or meeting rooms. Materials required are: candy

with about five different variations (color or candy type), and an

optional chalkboard/whiteboard.

Fabulous Flags: Fabulous Flags (also known as the Personal Flags

Activity) is a useful icebreaker activity to help people convey what

represents them or what is important to them. Each person draws a

flag that contains some symbols or objects that symbolizes who they

are or what they enjoy. This get-to-know-you activity is best done

indoors. Any number of people can participate. The recommended age

is 7 and up. Materials required are: several sheets of paper, pens, and

colored pencils/crayons/markers.

Never have I Ever: Never Have I Ever is an icebreaker game that helps

people get to know each other better. Everyone sits in a circle and take

turns saying something they have never done. Each player starts with

ten fingers showing. Each time says something that you’ve done, you

drop a finger. The goal is to be the last player remaining. This get-to-

know-you game can be played indoors or outdoors. The recommended

number of people for this game is ten to fifteen, but all group sizes can

play by dividing into appropriate sized groups. Recommended age is 8

and up. No special materials are required.

Like with any event for children, you need to make the games fun and

exciting. When the kids feel board they may not pay attention as you

would like them too. Easy team building activities for children are very

much like playing with them. Bringing yourself to a child’s level and

interacting with them as adults, can also be a great way to boost self

esteem in a child. Children can benefit from team building as much, if

not more than adults, it only needs to be disguised as fun!
