I disagree. Team building activities help to create friendships where there may have been none before, and team members who would normally never associate with each other because of their cliques or social status can find similar ground in problem solving. It helps to eliminate the imaginary "grade" boundary between 9/10/11/12 that so many students have ingrained. It also includes mentor-mentor bonding, and student-mentor bonding.
A well designed team building activity, game night, or other fun activity can solidify a team.
