HERE'S the link to get the ebook of activities discussed in the video. HERE'S a link to the playing card activity, What You Say - this one can be done in the classroom while safely distancing. 

Guess Who - REVIEW: "On an index card write 4 or 5 things about yourself that most people will not know about you, include your name, then hand this into me (teacher/team builder)." (The teacher/team builder should add in a card as well.) At different times during the beginning of the school year (or program), the teacher/team builder takes some time to read 3 or 4 cards - not sharing the name - and then asks others to guess who the person is before revealing the name. 

Image Cards - This is a link to the Image Cards page at the Training Wheels online store for several options. And, don't forget, you can have your students create a 'classroom set' of image cards by cutting out images from magazines or finding useable images on the web.

Climer Cards - (Image Cards) Check out Dr. Amy Climer's, Climer Cards - both in card deck and virtual versions. 

What's the Quote? Cards - Here's the link to a video with some show-and-tell about the cards and a link to full directions (. This one can be done virtually as well!
