The Leadership Training Activity Book: 50 Exercises

SET AN EXAMPLE^197

Each small group is to develop one large team symbol or collage. All

of the group members’ symbols should be incorporated into the new

one. They will have to think about what the individuals have in common

or develop a theme that applies to everyone.

Ask the groups to label their team symbol with a title or motto and

have each member sign the final drawing.

Step 4: Reassemble into the large group and ask each team to explain its

symbol. Hang the symbols on the wall nearest to each team’s table.

Discuss the creative ways people expressed their individuality.

Step 5: Ask participants to identify the advantages of doing an activity such as

this one with their own staff or team.

Step 6: Ask for suggestions on other team-building activities (perhaps what

people have had experience with), and wrap up.
