The link above will take you to an elementary blog that shared a great idea on how to get kids moving while getting to know each other.

Washer and String Activity

Here is a fun activity to show the power of your mind. Think about how you could use it for a leadership activity???

Balloon Blondfold Hunt

A blindfold hunt is the best way to exercise communication between players, as one team member will rely on a teammate's directions to get them through this activity. This team-building activity works best with helium-inflated balloons, in groups of two, where one person guides the other through a course in search of all of their color balloons. To set this one up, inflate different-colored balloons and put them together at each station. Then, without physically touching, one partner has to guide their partner from station to station to retrieve all of their colored balloons. This can be tricky when the blindfolded individual has to identify their own balloon string from the groups, and carry all of their balloons without them flying away. Optionally, you can either attach a weight to the bottom of the string, or give each team members a pair of scissors, being careful not to let the collected balloons fly away.

Helium Hula Hoop Activity

I love the Helium Hula Hoop activity for teaching leadership. This activity really focuses on working as a group and listening to each other. Let's see if we can complete it successfully when are up at Clear Creek.

The Human Knot

There are so many activities that you can use to teach leadership skills. The first one that comes to my mind is the human knot. Click on the link below to preview this activity that we will be doing at Clear Creek next month.
