Small teams brainstorm a name, motto, and symbol, then paint or draw it onto a flag or banner together — a quick creative icebreaker that gives every group its own identity for the day.

The Essentials

How to play

  1. Split into small teams and give each one a large piece of fabric or poster paper, markers, paint, and any craft supplies on hand.
  2. Give the team 10-15 minutes to brainstorm a team name, a short motto or battle cry, and a simple symbol or mascot that represents them.
  3. Everyone contributes to painting or drawing the agreed design onto the flag together — no single person should do it all.
  4. Once finished, each team presents their flag to the whole group, explaining the name, motto, and what the symbol means.
  5. Fly or display the flags for the rest of the day's activities — teams can rally around them during later games or competitions.

Tips

  • Push for a real vote or quick consensus on the name and symbol rather than letting one person dictate it — the decision itself is part of the bonding.
  • Keep the design simple and bold; intricate details get lost from a distance and take too long to paint well in the time given.
  • Assign different people to different parts of the flag (lettering, border, symbol) so everyone has a visible contribution.
  • Great for team building: it's a fast way to give a newly formed team a shared identity, and having a flag to rally behind adds energy to any competition that follows.
