12. Slide

Team work can increase the overall productivity of a group of people by up to 50%. Studies have found that teams with diverse backgrounds and opinions often produce more creative and innovative ideas than teams with similar members. Research has shown that teams that work well together have less stress, increased confidence and enthusiasm, and less absences at school.

In this exercise, group members will be asked to identify the names of famous persons. The leader tapes the name of a famous person on the back of each participant. The group member is not to see who is taped to their back. Their task is to find out who they are. The participants mill around the room asking others yes/no questions. If the member receives a “yes” answer, they can continue to ask that individual questions until they receive a “no” answer. Then they must continue on to ask someone else. When a group member figures out who they are, they take off the tag, put it on the front of their shirt, and write their own name on it. The member then can help other members find out who they are. The exercise concludes when all members have discovered who they are.
