I borrowed The Big Book of Team Building Games by Newstrom and Scannell from a colleague of mine a few weeks back. In reading it, I found about a dozen useful activities and games to break the ice, build teamwork, and increase cooperation in different group settings. I chose a few to use with my team of middle school teachers, and ten or so to use with my TA kids. Despite finding a dozen promising tools, I was largely disappointed in the book. The title is quite misleading; I don't think there are more than half a dozen actual games in the book. It is mostly activities like filling out a worksheet with a peer or a small group, then processing the answers in a reflective group conversation.
