You could have your group use NGT (Nominal group technique).  This usually allows groups to think outside the box creatively and makes use of every member's idea.\n\nAlso, encourage open group communication.  Otherwise, members will not feel comfortable enough to voice creative ideas they may have.  \n\nTry taking the group outside of its normal work or group environment.  For example, if your group is used to working on-site, at schoool, etc , take them off-site to another place, the park, ropes course, the likes.  These things stimulate creative thinking and gets the group working in non-traditional ways.

Well, first of all you should define your group clearly. What kind of a group is yours? What type? That is very important. \n Now I have a lot of experience in writing songs. So if you want more help, feel free to mail me. Just a simple tip, the best ideas of writing songs can come from your experiences in life.write about all that you have experienced. What you wanted to be.What you want to be.What you learnt.What you missed.Somebody who you admire.Stuff like that.I hope this helped you.

What you need to do is identify each team member's individual strengths and value them all. Give them work that suits their strengths. Praise them when they do well. Show some humanity. Forget the usual Human Resources bull****.(i.e. don't overburden them with appraisals and target setting).

You need to go straight to the power.  Talk to your principle and if that dont work go to the board of ed. in your town.  You need to have a lot of people interested(enough to make a team).

How about a video project depicting a group working on a school video project.  \n\nYou can begin with a brain storming session among the group who will be making the subject video.  Follow through with planning, casting, and shooting something insignificant like a commercial, after all the video being made in the video will not be shown.  Finish with a narrator saying something like "the actual success or failure of our venture rest with you, our audience".  This while a slow fade is taking place of the final “CUT” and the crew putting their equipment away.\n\nIt may be different enough to score some points for originality.

You're a great manager in the making! Good question! There is nothing like good old fashion team-building to bring a group of folks together. Team building anything that those people would think are 1) fun, and 2) a way to get "connected" to others.\n\nHere are some suggestions:\n1) Socializing: nothing is better (or cheaper) than people who have something in common (volleyball) just shooting the breeze, catching up on good times, sharing a meal, etc.  Take the team out for drinks, pizza, bowling, movie night at someone's house, etc.\n\n2) Activity-Based Team Building: Go rock-climbing or kayaking or row crew, a sport that requires the entire team to participate and count on one another.  \n\n3) Common Identity: Engage in activities that makes the team feel like they are one unit. For instance, agree to wear your school colors the day after a game, paint your schools letters on their faces before games, all wear crazy colored socks to the games, etc.\n\n4) Do something to help others (together): Do a community service event together, like volunteer a homeless shelter or have a bake sale.  \n\nAll of these things make being part of a team fun and worth the hard work!

you dont say how old your group is but there are lots of ideas both here and in other places\n\nsome of my favorites \n\nhave the children use recycled items to make a bed and then use a rectangle shaped paper or piece of cloth to make the blanket\n\nread goodnite moon and then make a childs own copy of the favorite pages \n\nhave the individual child or groups of children choose either to make or choose pieces of cloth to make quilts ( you can read a variety of stories about quilts beforehand to ed the children on quilts or bring some to show)\n\ntalk about and then graph what the children do before bedtime and maybe even when they get up to reinforce routines and opposites\n\nread stories about animals and how they "sleep"\nincluding hibernation, and then they can design their own bedrooms or create one for their favorite animals\n\nck out your local library or bookstores for stories related to sleeping, naps, etc to get more ideas

Be prepared, Have an agenda - Allow people their say BUT control it so it does not deviate from the main theme. Ask if everyone one knows each other - if not ask for an introduction from each participant to include name and function within company/ business/ meeting - Always appoint someone to take the minutes of the meeting - this you can always refer back. Above all enjoy it and keep it focused.

Have a strategy meeting with your 'partner'.  Break down the steps to completion of the project beforehand.  Give them choices of what they would like to take on while you take on another portion of the project.  Schedule a followup meeting to see what the progress of both of your work is.  \nYou have to be careful not to appear too assertive or like you are the boss of the project.  As long as some people know that you will take on the entire project if they slack off - they will slack off.  They have no integrity or work ethics, but they are happy to pick up the paycheck.

It is more difficult in a multi-disciplinary team to develop rapport and camaraderie, basically because everyone has such different roles that there is little common ground.  However, herein lies the answer.  Try to find common ground among the team members.  Do some team building activities that are based upon this sole purpose.  Take the team off-site to do some adventure learning or ropes courses.  I have done some adventure learning in a team where we had little in common and the end result was a higher level of trust and greater rapport.
