Mug Exchange
A simple team building activity for teachers where staff swap mugs.
15-20 min
Quick! Take a Pic
A fun team building activity for teachers.
Alissa Christensen
Announce a silly photo prompt over the intercom and challenge staff to complete it fast for a prize. Staff race to find or do whatever the prompt asks, snap a photo, and send it to the office for proof, with a prize for whoever sends theirs first.
Why try it
Get staff out of their classrooms and laughing within minutes. A surprise prompt breaks up the school day, gets people talking to coworkers and students, and turns a quick errand into a small competition everyone can join from wherever they are.
