For a team meeting in a social work setting, what should I do for a professional development activity?


Depending on the number of people, divide into small groups. Pick a word for each group (don’t tell the other groups). Give each group a stack of typing paper, stapler, scissors, and tape. Give the groups 10 minutes to use the available tools to make one person from each group into whatever that word is. Start with a word beginning with the letter A, like Aligator. Make the other groups guess what the word is, based on their ability to make one person into that word.
This is a stupid and fun activity, but it engages everybody in each group, requires creativity and problem solving skills, managing and delegating tasks, and teamwork.
