Here's a great book to help get you started as well =

Seven pages that describe how to get students feeling connected and get them talking during a middle school advisory program (suggested for grades 5-8). Serious topics, thought-provoking questions, and fun games/activities that can be used in the classroom to bond your students together... and provide a lot of insight to any teacher!
