The first activity I ever did with my students was a field day of sorts. My homeroom teacher wanted to improve teamwork and unity in our class, so we had them do 3 different team building challenges. One of them was an 8 legged race and another was the human knot challenge. We had them split up into teams of 6. They were able to solve the human knot challenge much faster than I expected. It took one of the teams less than 2 minutes! It was also really interesting to see which students worked well together and which ones tended to be leaders.
