Teamwork activity - I used 100 piece jigsaw puzzles (from somewhere like Dollar General or Walmart) for this activity. I divided the students into small groups of 4-5. The only instructions I gave them were that it would be timed, and that every team member should participate. I then timed them and wrote their scores on the board as they completed the puzzle. I observed the groups as they worked. I then gave them a set of discussion items, that we then discussed as an entire class. Some of the questions were: "Why did the puppy puzzle group finish first?" The answers might be "their puzzle was easier or they worked together well." I observed one group that seemed to just sit there and wait for another person to take the lead. So my next question was "How did having no designated leader make a difference in what your group accomplished?" etc jPhyllis Johnson ||
