Wall of Praise

In this game, each participant starts by drawing a self-portrait. They are given a piece of paper and asked to represent themselves with a drawing. There are no restrictions on the duration or complexity of this drawing, allowing everyone to express themselves freely. Participants should write their names on their self-portraits so that each drawing is identifiable. Once all the drawings are completed, they are displayed together on a wall for everyone to see.

The second step of the game involves distributing stars. Each participant receives star-shaped Post-it notes or paper stars made for the occasion. On each star, they write a positive adjective describing each of the other participants. These stars are then attached to the corresponding self-portraits. In this way, everyone receives encouraging and positive words from the other group members.

This game is particularly interesting in the context of team-building because it fosters an atmosphere of kindness and mutual recognition. By encouraging participants to compliment and value each other's qualities, it strengthens team cohesion and self-esteem. Everyone feels appreciated and recognized by their peers, which can improve communication, collaboration, and morale within the group.
