Help your students develop interpersonal skills as well as motor skills with these activities. These 22 Outward Bound-type tasks challenge students to work together to achieve a common goal. Along the way, they'll learn to value teamwork, practice leadership skills, improve listening skills, and appreciate individual differences. The activities are broken down into three levels--introductory, intermediate, and advanced. These levels make the challenges ideal for students in upper elementary through high school. As they struggle, fail, reorganize, persevere, and finally succeed, students learn to brainstorm solutions, work together to develop a plan of attack, listen to others and consider their ideas, and praise and encourage team members. Each member of the group is important, because everyone must meet the challenge before the team can succeed. Team members learn, in addition to motor skills, important social skills by taking turns filling the roles of organizer, praiser, encourager, summarizer, and recorder.
