Mentors VS Students

Looking forward to this fall your team might want to engage in a series of structured activities. It can accomplish two things. It helps the group move through the group dynamics stated above. That helps a lot when the build season starts. And it give the group an opportunity to do some fun stuff. It is tough getting to the performing stage in 6 weeks with a group that hasn't worked together before.

Also, the Quicksilver (Karl Rohnke) series of books has lots of games for groups designed to help a group get through the first couple of evolutionary steps.

An idea I've always toyed with but never had the opportunity to do was to bring in a local dance studio/facilitator that does basic dance survival for teens. It always looked like a blast and helps break down a whole set of communication barriers between team members.
