Engaging Communication and Teamwork Activity – Origami Instructions Challenge This tried-and-tested activity has been a consistent favourite across a wide range of ages and abilities. Now updated with a fresh, user-friendly design, it’s perfect for developing essential communication and teamwork skills in a fun, hands-on way. How it works: Learners work in pairs or small groups. One learner takes on the role of the instructor, describing step-by-step how to fold an origami shape using only verbal instructions. The other learner(s), the makers, must follow these directions without seeing the original design. The catch? They don’t know what they’re making until the very end! This setup challenges learners to think carefully about how they give and receive instructions, encouraging clarity, active listening, and patience. After the activity, groups reflect on their experience and discuss what worked well and what could be improved—perfect for reinforcing communication strategies. What you’ll need: Square paper for each participant Origami instructions (I recommend laminating them for durability and repeated use) Why you’ll love it: Encourages speaking, listening, and critical thinking Builds teamwork, problem-solving, and trust Flexible time frame – swap roles so everyone gets a turn Easy to set up and adaptable to any group size Let your learners take the lead and enjoy the laughter and learning that follows. If you try this resource in your classroom, I’d love to hear how it went—please consider leaving a review!

This is an entire lesson for an egg parachute team building activity. You can change the resources to suit your own needs. In this activity learners will work together to construct a parachute for an egg (Boiled preferably but you can also use chocolate eggs or plastic eggs) The parachute must softly land to the floor and the egg must not crack. Its a great activity to get learners working together and there is usually an element of competition to have the best parachute. Everything you need is in this pack from the worksheets, PowerPoint and lesson plan.

I have used this Moon Survival activity since I became a teacher, it was originally from another source but my problem with the original activity was that it is too wordy, and my learners are often more visual learners. In the past I resorted to printing out pictures of the different items for my learners to look at them on their tables. Recently I decided to draw my own graphics for each of the items and truly make it my own. I think it now looks more professional and put together. I have since used these resources with a number of different classes and all enjoyed the activity and the pictures. Its a great team building activity and a way to get learners talking to each other about each of the objects. These images are intended to be laminated and cut out so they can be used time and time again.
