Hi - there are lots more team building activities and icebreakers that are great for AmeriCorps members at http://www.teampedia.net.

Teampedia was designed to help put all those activities that are passed around via email and word of mouth, into an easily accessible, updatable, and searchable format.

It was originally seeded with many of the team building activities I learned at City Year (www.cityyear.org) as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, and has grown with the help of many fellow AmeriCorps alumni.

Check it out, and add your own activities at http://www.teampedia.net.
