Low Vulnerability
-
Create a playful hunt through different library spaces or systems, helping staff explore resources, tools, or hidden gems while having fun. It’s engaging, informative, and team-friendly.
-
Build a silly or themed story one sentence at a time, with each person adding on. It’s a great creativity boost and encourages listening and laughter.
-
Light, laughter-filled games like “Yes, And…” or “One Word at a Time” help build collaboration and quick thinking in a zero-pressure environment.
High Time
These activities invite collaboration and creativity while keeping the mood light. They're well-suited for groups that enjoy being active but may not be ready for deeper conversations.
I recommend these for team-building days, social events, or when your goal is to build shared experiences without emotional weight.
-
Provide random supplies and a task (like “build a book-themed invention”). This taps into creative play without personal sharing.
-
Choose inclusive, low-strategy games that invite casual fun and teamwork. Great for winding down or recharging together.
-
Host a team trivia session with categories like pop culture, library history, or staff fun facts. Low barrier to entry and high on team spirit.
