Team building games can be fun for teenagers. They can also be tools for strengthening the group. There are many levels of team building exercises. Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.

Pass the Clap

Pass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other. Have the participants stand in a circle. One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him. As they are about to make eye contact, they clap together. That next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on. Continue to pass the clap around the circle.

Blindfolded Birthday

Blindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other. Everyone puts on a blindfold. Then, without talking, they have to line up in order of birthdays.

Two Truths and a Lie

Two truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations. Have the participants sit in a circle. Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves. The group has to guess which is the lie.

Human Knot

Human Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other, because there can be a lot of touching going on. Everyone gathers in a circle. They put their right hands in the middle of the circle. They grab someone else’s hand. Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand. The group is now knotted up. The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.

【1】Pass the Clap is most helpful for ________.

A. starting relationships B. rebuilding relationships

【2】When playing Human Knot, ________.

Failure is common in our life. No one can avoid them. When we fail to do something, we often feel very depressing. Sometimes failure can make us lose hearts. So no one are willing to fail. On a contrary, success can bring us a sense of pride. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will have confidence to himself. Therefore, failure is the mother of success. A failure doesn’t mean one can never be successfully. Those who are always afraid of failure they will never succeed. In a word, as long as we can get some lessons and experiences from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.

There once was a forest filled with happy animals. One day a raccoon (浣熊) found some socks left behind by picnickers, and 【1】 (decide) to wear them. They fitted so well, and felt so 【2】 (comfort), that he kept them on. He spent his days 【3】 (walk) through the forest in his new socks.

Other animals became envious(嫉妒) of the raccoon’s new look and followed his trend. First it was squirrels in 【4】 (shirt), then rabbits 【5】 hats on, and finally birds wearing underpants!

Doctor Bear, the forest physician, disapproved and tried to warn the clothes-wearers. But no one listened. Instead, they urged him to follow the 【6】 (late) trend too.

When the 【8】 (injure) animals came to see Doctor Bear, he told them, “Your clothes are killing you. You don’t need 【9】 .”

Those 【10】 listened to the doctor’s advice finally understood they didn’t need clothes. They’d only started wearing clothes to make others envy them.
