According to Move This World, relationship skills include: resolving conflicts, actively listening, collaborating and team building, and effectively communicating.

Working on a puzzle as a group is a great way to take a brain break and encourage collaboration. Google Arts & Culture has a Puzzle Party activity that students can complete together. Launch a puzzle of a piece of artwork, share the link on Google Classroom or in Google Meet chat and have students work together to accomplish the puzzle. It's a great way to build collaboration and teamwork, even in a virtual space!
Global Pen Pal Journals
Global Pen Pal Journals
Making connections with students around the world is a way for students to work on their relationships skills, while learning more about the lives of others. A Google Doc journal shared between the partnered students (and owned by the two teachers) allows for students to connect. Students can correspond throughout the year, asking each other questions and learning from each other. At the end of the year, students can have a shared Google Meet session as a group to meet their partner class.
