Description
This Social Studies Team Building activity emphasizes communication skills needed in a social studies class that utilizes partner, group, and team work. Students will work on communication by instructing a partner to draw a specific secret image using only directions about how and where to move the pencil. The activity is followed up with an analysis of how communication improved on each attempt and what they learned from the experience about speaking and listening in a collaborative way.
Check this out! This resource can be taught alone or as an integrated theme across subjects! As you know, integration leads to greater student engagement, deeper understanding, and higher-order thinking skills for our students. However, coordinating integration across multiple subject areas can be quite an undertaking. That’s where Spiral Studies comes in. We’re a group of TpT teacher-authors and we’ve combined our expertise to make absolutely turn-key integrated units for you and/or your team. If you’d like to turn this lesson into an integrated unit we’d suggest working with your team (or independently if you teach multiple subject areas) and checking out the Spiral Studies team building FREEBIES in each of our stores.
