==Mission==<br />
The mission of Teampedia is to become the world's largest collection of resources (e.g. warmups, icebreakers, and other group facilitation and training activities) to facilitate teamwork, teambuilding, and community.<br />
<br />
==Goals==<br />
* To collaboratively develop, share and archive the world's largest collection of teambuilding resources <br />
* To bring team leaders, team members, consultants, and facilitators together in a vibrant online community where all contributions are valued<br />
* To help prevent team leaders and organizations from "re-inventing the wheel" every time they want to do a teambuilding activity<br />
* To combine the power of teamwork and technology to generate and refine collective knowledge<br />
* To support those working to promote deeper understanding, improve communication, increase enjoyment, build trust, resolve conflicts, and generally create more efficient, fun, effective, creative, harmonious, inclusive, collaborative, and enjoyable teams and communities<br />
* To generate enough revenue for this website to be self-sustaining (including hosting and development costs)<br />
* To respect copyright and intellectual property rights<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
* March 2006 - Teampedia was founded by [[User:Smarbin| Seth Marbin]], and has grown with help from many [[Special:Listusers| team members]].<br />
* April 17, 2007 - Signed up for a Google AdWords campaign and began advertising for the site on Google search network<br />
* April 19, 2007 - Signed up for a Google Analytics and started tracking visitors (avg ~50/day for the first week)<br />
* April 29, 2007 - 00:54 the first day the wiki was spammed! :(<br />
<br />
==Inspirations==<br />
* Although Teampedia has no direct affiliation with the [http://wikimedia.org/ WikiMedia Foundation], or their project [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia - the free online encylopedia], this project was heavily inspired by both.<br />
* Most of the initial teambuilding activities on Teampedia were inspired by activities used at [http://www.cityyear.org City Year] (the nation's largest [http://www.americorps.org AmeriCorps] program).<br />
* The Teampedia logo was inspired by the [http://www.vanderbilt.edu/pgcc/newpgcc.htm Vanderbilt University Portable Group Challange Course] logo.<br />

===Materials===<br />
* Pre-printed "Bingo" Cards (see set up)<br />
* A pencil or pen for each participant <br />
<br />
===Set Up===<br />
* Create a master "bingo" card and make enough copies for each participant.<br />
* The bingo card should contain a grid of squares each containing a statement or question that will apply to some members of your group and is in line with the objectives of your class, workshop, or event. <br />
* For a few examples see:<br />
** http://www.uww.edu/learn/diversity/discoveryhunt.php<br />
** http://vcc.ca/deptUploads/diversity/DiversityBingo.pdf<br />
** http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/bingo.htm<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
Hand out the bingo cards and instruct participants to mingle around introducing themselves and finding other participants who can sign their cards indicating that a statement applies to him/her e.g. if one of the squares says "speaks more than one language" and you asked me if that applied, I would sign that square on your card. Typically it is best to limit the number of squares any one person can sign on each card, e.g. no one can sign more than 1 or 2 per card, to encourage people to mingle with more people in order to fill their card. <br />
<br />
===Alternatives===<br />
* Alternative Goals: You can set the goal that everyone should try to fill their card in the time alloted (recommended since this encourages the most discussion and collaboration), or you can choose to offer a prize to the person/people who finish first (encourages more competition and less discussion) or in typical bingo fashion, you can have the person who finishes a row first yell out "Bingo!" and win a prize (allows for least amount of dicussion, but also requires the least amount of time).<br />
* Alternative Content: This can be adapted for almost any content so be creative e.g. squares can contain math problems, trivia questions, or personal statements such as "has lived in 2 or more countries," "doesn't have a profile on myspace or facebook," or "has stood up for someone else's rights."<br />

===Set Up===<br />

<br />
===Directions===<br />
Assign one person to be the "Captain." The role of the Captain is call out the actions and dismiss the players who don't do the actions quick enough or who break from character. Once the captain calls an action, each player has 3-4 seconds to start performing the action. If they don't find a group fast enough or perform the right action, they are out of the game. <br />
<br />
Here is an explanation of each of the actions...<br />
* Captain's Coming!: Everyone stands at "attention" (in a salute), and they canât move from this position until the caller says, "At Ease!" If they laugh or break from the attention, they are dismissed. <br />
* Starboard: Players run to the right.<br />
* Port: Players run to the left.<br />
* Lighthouse: Two players partner up. Put their arms up and hands against each other, and rotate in a circle making the noise âbeep beep beep beepâ (or whatever you think a light house would sound like!)<br />
* Man Overboard!: Three Players group up. Two hold hands, forming the side of the ship. One player leans âover the railâ (the other twoâs arms) and pretends to look out for the lost shipmate.<br />
* Life Boat: Four players sit on ground in a line and pretend to row a boat.<br />
* Chow Time: Five players sit in a circle and pretend to eat.</div>217.172.56.174https://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Icebreakers/Warmups&diff=2196Category:Icebreakers/Warmups2008-01-06T09:25:42Z<p>217.172.56.174: ouourolli</p>

<br />
Icebreakers (also known as Warm-ups, Energizers, Openers, and Deinhibitizers) are team building activities that help people feel more comfortable and get to know each other in a process often called "breaking the ice" or "warming up the group." <br />
<br />
<br />
Icebreakers are most commonly used early in the group process or at early stages of team development (e.g. at the first class or at the beginning of a team meeting). They can also be used with great success whenever the group energy is low and people need re-energizing, or when members join or leave the group. <br />
<br />
<br />
Icebreakers work best when they are fun and engaging, and they draw out information or qualities of the participants that aren't obvious or on the surface (e.g. hidden talents, attitudes, or previous experiences). Learning more about each other and having fun can help reduce tension and anxiety and help people get a sense of the commonalities between group members. <br />
<br />
<br />
Below are are several examples of icebreakers, warm-ups and energizers or you can find more team building activities (organized by category and group size) on the [[Main Page]]. <br />
