My World Map Activity Guide: Making Teamwork Work

Empower K12 students to build trust, empathy, and collaboration with this free and flexible classroom activity.

💬 "Speaking in front of others."

That’s what a 5th grader with a speech impairment wrote in the “Challenges” section of their My World Map.

Their group read it. Then, instead of brushing it off, they said:
💙 "We’ll help you. We’ve got you."

What happened next? The student felt safe to speak, and over time, their confidence grew in ways they never expected.

This is what happens when students see each other beyond the surface.

The My World Map Activity helps students:
✔️ Share their strengths, values, and challenges.
✔️ Build trust and support one another.
✔️ Form stronger teams that actually work.

Because real teamwork starts with understanding each other.
