Game of the Month: Have you ever?

Have you ever…wanted to build more community within your team? Then this game is for you! Laugh your way through a series of questions and find out what you have in common with your fellow teammates and coaches…

Objective: I can learn something new about a teammate, I can identify something I have in common with a teammate

Setup: Have the entire group form a circle 

Rules: Ask your group all or some of the following questions. If the question is true for them, they step forward. If it isn’t true for them, they just stand still. 

Have you ever…
