They are used as educational tools for a variety of individuals, groups, and organizations. In addition, teambuilding activities provide opportunities for participants to combine individual talents and abilities with an awareness of the need to develop cooperation and trust within the group.
This manual is a resource for teambuilding activities for adult and youth leaders with 4-H. This manual will help you effectively lead teambuilding programs. However, it is not exhaustive. Nor is it possible to read these pages and expect to become an expert in leading teambuilding programs. We are all lifelong learners and continue to add to our methods and styles as we learn new thoughts, ideas, and concepts. In that regard, please use this manual as a guide as you experiment with your particular leadership and facilitation style.
