Cassandra,
    I am a new subscriber myself and I read your email regardign ice breakers
and teambuilding exercises for training.  I am the Child Care Director at the
Albany YMCA, and I have worked in child care for a number of years.  One of
the great teambuilding games that we do at trainings and with the children in
our programs is from a curriculum called Project Adventure (PA Games).  PA
Games is a program developed specifically for team building of groups with
varying abilities and enthusiasm.  Their website is www.pa.org   I'm not sure
if they have ideas posted on their website or if you will have to email for
some game descriptions, but I can tell you that there are staff members here
that attend training primarily for the PA Games they will learn and be able
to bring back to the children at their sites.  Again this is a great program
in general but makes for a wonderful team building and ice breaker exercise
for staff trainings.
