Alissa Christensen
Staff each get a card featuring one member of a famous group of four (or five), then spend the day tracking down their matching teammates. It's a low-prep way to get staff talking to colleagues they might not usually cross paths with, all in search of a shared prize.
Why try it
Try this activity with your teams to have a little fun and build connection across grade levels or departments. Staff search for their group in hopes of earning a prize.

Instructions
1
Prepare the cards
Print cards featuring famous groups of four (or five). Make sure there's a card for every staff member.
2
Hand out the cards
Distribute one card to each staff member at the start of the day. Spread out members of the same group so they aren't clustered in the same hallway or department.
3
Find your group
Staff will spend the day searching for their group in hopes of earning a prize. Once a group is complete, they come find you together to claim their prize.

Additional tips for running this resource.
Leader Tip #1
Post a claim spot
Pick one visible spot, like the front office, where completed groups can come find you.
Leader Tip #2
Keep prizes ready
Have prizes on hand before the day starts so groups can claim right away once they find each other.
Leader Tip #3
Cross-team groups
Build groups that intentionally mix staff from different departments or grade levels, so the search connects people who don't usually work together.
