There are a couple of different ways that you can structure this cheer team bonding activity.
- Instruct all cheerleaders to sit in a circle. Ask them all to answer one of these prompts.
- Instruct cheerleaders to find a partner. Ask them to share their answer to one of these prompts with their partner. Then have them switch partners and answer the same prompt or a different prompt. Repeat as many times as you have time for.
You will end up gathering valuable insight during this cheer team bonding. You can identify emerging leaders or influential teammates, and new ideas or perspectives based upon how they answer these prompts. Try these at your next cheer practice
