After everyone has joined hands, the girls must untangle themselves without ever letting go of each other's hands. Several groups can play at once and compete for the fastest time. A friendship quiz helps girls learn more about each other. Each girl fills out a questionnaire about her interests, favorite things and family. Topics can range from favorite music to what she wants to be when she grows up.
One person collects the quizzes and reads the answers. The girls try and guess who gave which answer and get points for each correct guess. The girl who earns the most points, gets a prize for knowing her friends the best. I'm Your Friend is a relatively basic game, best played with younger school-age children. One blindfolded "It" girl sits in the center of a circle.
They are responsible for decorations, for the food, and for the games. Divide your students into 3 groups. They have to work in teams to create the best classroom party ever: One team designs the Halloween or Christmas food and buffet, one team does the craftwork for decorations, and one team prepares the classroom games that will be played that day. They become true event-planners.
Divide your classroom into 3 teams. Each team stands on a blanket, leaving about a quarter of the blanket space. Now, the three teams have to turn over the blanket without leaving it. This means they have to work together to end up standing on the other side of the blanket. Create a class movie. Again, this team building activity for students requires them to split up in groups. Plenty to do for all the students in your classroom. Use your benches, chairs, and dustbins as obstacles in your classroom.
Divide your students into small groups of 2. One is blindfolded and the other guides the blindfolded students through all the obstacles. If you want to spice things up, you could let 2 or 3 groups race each other through the obstacles. The fastest one through wins. Define a square area in your classroom. You can use tape for this. Now, place plastic cones or cups everywhere in the square area. This now represents a minefield. Again, such as in the activity above, split up students in groups of two.
One is blindfolded, the other gives instructions. The blindfolded students have to cross the minefield without touching or knocking down the plastic cups. But, not only will they become better at maintaining eye contact, they should connect with one another on some level.
Students stand in a close circle with one student in the middle. That student in the middle is a tree, so he has to make his body stiff.
Now, that student has to fall from the middle towards a person in the middle. That person has to catch the tree and push it to another side of the circle. Of course, the tree may not fall. One of my favorite creative trust games for students is this one! Have your students form pairs.
One student gets a drawing you have prepared earlier. Ideally, the drawing should be something relevant to what you are teaching. The student holding the drawing needs to give good instructions to the other student. The other student needs to draw it without being able to see the original picture.
When you use this team building energizer as a revision activity, you let the pair explain to the rest of the class what the drawing is about. Now your students in your classroom are much closer, they should learn better as well. The fact that they like going to school now is very important. Make sure to take the time for team building exercises and trust games such as these ones, not only on the first day of school, but once every few weeks across the entire year.
When children have friends, they learn how to relate to others, have more self-confidence and perform better academically, according to KidsMatter, a mental health and wellbeing framework for primary schools and early childhood education and care services 1. You can help your child learn more about the positive social skills he needs for making and keeping friends by guiding him and providing him with opportunities for play that help him practice these skills.
Having fun with some friendship games can actually help him with his social and emotional development 3. One skill that children need to have in order to form positive friendships is the ability to take others' feelings into account.
Play a game to help your child see how making someone else feel good can help him build friendships. Gather a small group of children in a circle and toss a beanbag to one of them.
That child must say another child's name, greet him with a "hello" and then give him a compliment. Encourage the children to say things about their friends' personalities, such as "You make me laugh" or "You are a good listener. Kids tend to view friends as those who have similar interests, so it can help build friendships when you play a game that shows children ways they are the same. To play this game, gather a group of children together and have them sit down.
