Creating New, Playful Connections in a Group 

Activity: The Secret Handshake

Learning Goal: To help learners of any age connect with their peers and bond as a group.

Before you work with someone else, or ask students to work with each other in a creative way, it helps if everyone is comfortable with each other. You need to connect on a human level. This activity is all about quickly creating the conditions for collaboration–it’s also a good reminder that playfulness opens us up.
