I am a 7th grade teacher. My class has serious problems with each other. They don't know how to get along. All they do is critize one another. They're a small group of 13 but have no companionship. What activity can I have them do so they learn to solve problems with each other and learn to depend and respect one another?

I have this one game...it's like this. Bring the kids to the hallway and say that the hallway is a river, all of the kids need to get accross the river as a team on one condition, all of their shoes have to be touching. See what technics they try to come up with and see the methods of touching shoes. Then bring them into the classroom and ask about the difficulties, if anyone was left out of the method planning and stuff like that. When our teachers first did this, all of us took off our shoes and put them into a huge pile and walked down the hallway...it was kinda funny because they said that we were the first group to figure it out at a record time. Good Luck.

take them outside to play games that make them use team work and they will come around. in class you can make them do an assignment that goes like this . each kid gets a piece of paper and they have to write 3 nice things about every other kid without their own name going on the paper. after they are finished go back to class as normal and after you read over the papers grope all the nice things together for each child and pass them back to the other kids like if you had a kid name Tim he would get a paper back with 36 good things on it from everyone else. there attitudes will change once they know everyone else likes them in one way or another
