The Activity of All the News

All the News is an activity to take a quick peek into people’s minds and find out how they perceive the organization or team. For this activity you’ll need newspapers, a whiteboard, tape, scissors, markers.

To do this group team building activity, divide people into teams of 3 or 6. Give each team a newspaper and ask them to come up with headlines about what they think the organization or the team will achieve in the upcoming future.

There are no rules in particular. They can either take newspaper clippings and paste them or write the headlines directly on the whiteboard.

When the time’s up, teams pin up their work and discuss each idea to see if they’re feasible or not.

The exercise is great for spotting hidden opportunities or threats. It also instills a sense of loyalty as each team member feels they’re appreciated and have a stake to play in the organiozation’s development.

The aim of this exercise is to foster a shared team identity by looking at how people perceive the organization and what influences their opinions.
