Getting to Know You Small Group Craftivity for Back-to-School

Help your students learn to work together as a team within their table groups. This folding person craftivity asks students to reflect on what they can do to effectively work with other students. It makes a great back-to-school activity, but can be used anytime during the year for when students gather in a new group.

In this craftivity, students are asked to share what makes them feel appreciated, what helps them get along in groups and what listening looks or sounds like, in addition to something they love to do and an “I feel ___ when ____” statement.

Included are “before the activity” suggestions with anchor chart samples and graphic organizers that can be used whole class or within interactive notebooks. Since this activity asks students to reflect on their ability to work within a group at a deeper level, doing some activities prior to the craftivity will help students be successful with the project.
