Icebreakers
“Leadership on the GO!” is a grab-and-go activity book (a special project of the National FFA Foundation’s LifeKnowledge Center for Agricultural Education) containing a library of short leadership activities for use inside and outside the classroom. The activities are organized into five focus areas—Ice Breakers, Team Building, Communication, Relationships, and Problem Solving—each broken into Title, Description, Directions, Connection Questions, Wrap-up, Quick Reference, Research Methodologies, and LifeKnowledge Reference. The activities help students “Listen. Lead. Learn.” while building leadership skills in areas such as icebreaking, teamwork, communication, relationships, and problem solving.
