Publisher's Synopsis
Hi, I'm Jason Singh, and if you're here, chances are you're a teacher, coach, youth worker, or team leader searching for practical and meaningful ways to strengthen connections within your group. Whether you're leading a classroom, managing a team, or running a program, I understand the challenges of finding activities that are fun, effective, and easy to pull off-especially when time is short.
That's why I wrote this handbook.
Why I Wrote This BookOver the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of facilitating activities with people across all walks of life. From working in youth camps for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder to afterschool programs in Toronto's priority neighborhoods, and from elementary schools to post-secondary institutions and corporate spaces, I've learned what it takes to bring groups together.
During the pandemic, I revisited my collection of activities-games and exercises that had worked time and again to break the ice, spark creativity, and foster teamwork. I realized how valuable it could be to share these with others like you, who are passionate about making a difference in their groups.
What You'll Find Inside- 36 Ready-to-Go Activities: These are my most trusted and effective activities, designed to save you time.
- Simple Setups: No need for elaborate materials or hours of preparation. These activities are quick and easy to implement.
- Flexibility for All Ages and Settings: Whether you're working with kids, teens, or adults in schools, community programs, or workplaces, these activities can be adapted to meet your needs.
I know the feeling of standing in front of a group and wondering, What can I do right now that will engage everyone and achieve my goals? That's why this book is packed with:
- Clear Objectives: Activities are categorized by goals such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
- Tested Across Industries: These activities aren't just for schools-they've been successful in camps, colleges, and even corporate settings.
- Personal Insights: I've included tips and tricks I've learned from years of real-world experience.
- Teachers and youth workers seeking to foster confidence and connection.
- Coaches looking to build teamwork and trust.
- Leaders in corporate or community settings aiming to enhance collaboration.
- Facilitators who need a quick-reference resource that works in diverse environments.
This handbook is designed to be your go-to resource for those moments when you're out of time but still want to create something impactful. It's more than just a collection of activities-it's a guide born from over a decade of facilitating teambuilding in a variety of contexts.
Whether you're running an icebreaker for college students, energizing a group of coworkers, or creating connections in a classroom, this book is here to help. I hope it inspires you to tailor these activities to fit your group's unique personality because, at the end of the day, the best connections are the ones that feel authentic.
