Staff Wellbeing Ideas For Primary Teachers
Let’s not forget you. We’re not leaving you out! ♥
We have lots of team building and wellbeing activities that are perfect for teacher meetings. Our activities are loved throughout the NHS and Amazon. Never underestimate how important and beneficial it is for teams to have fun together away from normal work activities, it’s like a super-charged dose of wellbeing for the entire team.
A Fun Meeting Energiser – Drawing Ahead!
This is a brilliant and bitesize activity you can do as a team to create team bonding at a meeting or away day. It can take less than 5 minutes:
You will need:
1 piece of card per person
1 pen per person
Instructions:
Step 1 – Instruct everyone to put their piece of card on their head
Step 2 – Instruct everyone to draw a picture on the piece of card. You can pick what picture they draw. Maybe you’re talking about pupil wellbeing and you can get everyone to draw a smiling child. Or if it’s Easter, get them to draw an Easter egg
Step 3 – Instruct everyone to write their name underneath their drawing
Step 4 – Give them 1 minute and get them to draw!
Step 5 – After 1 minute, ask everyone to remove the card and show to everyone around them
Team bonding benefits to this game:
Everyone’s drawing will be funny, so no one will feel awkward about their lack of artistic ability
Everyone will have a great laugh about each other’s drawings
It challenges brains in a unique way
A Fun Meeting Energiser – Switch Hands!
This will challenge your mind. How fast can you switch??
