Connecting over photos

Try this relationship builder! In School Culture By Design Podcast Episode #100, Dr. John Eick shares a fun way to connect over cell phone photos.

Photo reel activity: 

• Get your cell phone and open photos

• Flick photo reel 3 times

• Pick one photo in that grid

• Share that photo with the person next to you and explain why it either makes you PROUD, SMILE, or A LITTLE EMBARRASSED. 

What will you share… a photo of your family or pet, vacation highlight, favorite hobby, holiday tradition, or maybe an adventure from your summer break?

Take time to be PEOPLE FIRST and share part of your story as it will lead to lasting relationships and colleagues you can lean on during tough times.

STORYTELLING SPARKS CONNECTION

During our Storytelling Sparks Connection podcast episode, guest Robin Nott shared the benefit of taking time to share our stories and how it can lead to a more PRODUCTIVE, CREATIVE, and SAFE environment.

Adapted from Robin's Story Sparks, this activity may be used with students or staff to SPARK CONVERSATIONS, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, and remind us we are BETTER TOGETHER!
