Yesterday, NorthStar students participated in a teambuilding activity using letter tiles. In small groups, they used these tiles to make words that connected, and they could rearrange their letters as many times as they needed until all the tiles were used. When a group was able to use all their letters, they called out "take two", and each group could take two new tiles to continue the game. The class played several rounds, including one where each student could only participate in a certain role. We then talked about how that changed students' level of engagement and led to more challenges within the groups. Ultimately, students recognized that having everyone helping made each group stronger.
