FUN Link: We're rolling into summer programming and 'ice-breaker' time. I have a fun set of question cards you can copy, print and play over at the FUNdoing: bit.ly/2VJFfh9 And, there is also a link to a great list of questions from Jim Hough.

"A mistake is just another way of doing things" (Unknown). Have you ever...presented an activity, the group gets going and then you realize you forgot an important piece of the directions? What did you do? No matter what you did, everybody still gets to learn!

"We are bound together by the task that lies before us" (M. L. King, Jr.) I like using the word 'task' when presenting activities to groups - Here is your task. I think it helps (metaphorically) connect with something (a task) they already do to something they are about to do.

"Effective leaders [and facilitators] are known by the questions they ask rather than the statements they make" (Voltaire). With that said, statements are not a bad thing - they can open doors. Good questions open more doors.

FUN Link: Here's an engaging puzzle that helps us explore confirmation bias and/or 'thinking outside the box.' You can have multiple small groups (3 or 4/group) playing at once - you just need enough index card letters to go around. fundoing.com/blog/that-one-w…

"Experience is not what happens to you, it's what you do with what happens to you" (Aldous Huxley). What three 'happenings' have you turned into powerful experiences as a team builder - what shaped your team building?

"Each day, and the living of it, has to be a conscious creation in which discipline and order are relieved with some play and some pure foolishness" (May Sarton). Have FUN out there my friend! Keep the balance...

"Well then, if risks must be run, should not one run them where success will improve people?" (Plato) Tricky topic in team building. I like Plato's advice - if risk is planned we should know the 'improvement potential' of that risk. And, does the participant know the potential?

Lots of ways to Adventure. I like the practice for Wild Woosy, with one on the wire and one on the ground - and, practice SOS (stepping off safely).

"The meeting of two personalities [or more] is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed" (Carl Jung). Team builder, keep going for the reactions so there's more transformation.

"You do not learn by doing. You learn by thinking... acting... thinking... acting, etc. In and of itself, doing, like experience, can be a mindless affair" (S. S. Sarason). How much thinking are we 'doing' about our team building? Without thinking on it, are we going 'mindless?'

"The highest art is the art of living an ordinary life in an extraordinary manner" (Tibetan Proverb). Thanks team builder for the 'extraordinary' you do! You will never really know how much you change the participants in your programs!! Keep doing great work! It counts.

"Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well" (Earl of Chesterfield). How do we know we're team building 'well?' Do we self-evaluate? Do others evaluate? Do our groups evaluate us? Is it a feeling? What do you do well? How do you know? Who really cares? Who should care?
