Secret Roles: Staff Connection Game

Secret Roles is a ready-to-use staff guessing game that brings playful mystery into your school day while strengthening real connection. A few “Connectors” spark small moments of kindness as the rest of the team stays curious. It is low-lift, energizing, and designed to boost belonging without adding extra work.

How it Works

The school leader secretly assigns 2 to 4 staff members as Connectors, while the rest become Helpers. Throughout the day, Connectors spark small, positive interactions like compliments or thoughtful check-ins. At the end of the day, staff submit 1 to 3 guesses, followed by a fun reveal with lighthearted stats and optional prizes.

What's Included

Includes step-by-step directions, printable Connector and Helper role cards, guessing sheets, editable templates, a ready-to-send staff email, and printable prize coupons.
