The Power of Together in Physical Activity: Part 1
When we play and work together as a team, we can make any game way more fun and great things can happen. It's like being part of a superhero team where everyone has a special power. Ready to learn how teamwork can turn us into superstars? Let's dive in!
Teamwork Triumphs: The Power of Together in Physical Activity
Welcome to the awesome world of teamwork, where playing together makes everything better! Let’s find out how being part of a team helps us in sports, games, even in things like cleaning the house (as a team) and the result is we all shine more like stars. All because we choose to work together.
Thinking about it:
Why do you think working together as a team helps everyone do better in a game?
Can you think of a time when your team did something better because you all worked together?
Why do you think it's important to help each other when playing in a team?
Teamwork Takes the Gold: Everyone's a Star in Their Own way!
Imagine a team of superheroes. Each one has a special talent, but when they work together, they can save the world! It's the same with us. When we play on a team, everyones’ skills and contributions to the team are important. In every game, every one of us does have a special role to play, a superhero role. Each person in a team uses their superpower to contribute to the team being better. A team is not made up of just one superhero role. For example, some are scorers, others are playmakers, some are defenders and then some are goalies.
Thinking about it:
Why do you think it's important to have different roles on a team, instead of everyone trying to do the same thing?
What special role or 'superpower' do you think you bring to a team, and how does it help your team succeed?
Being a Team Player: It's All About Accountability!
Accountability is a fancy word that means we promise to do our best and help our team or to help ourselves. It's like wearing a superhero badge that says, "I've got your back!" When we all do this, our team becomes super strong and can win any challenge.
Accountability is all About Trust! What is Trust?
Trust is a special power we carry in life. It is like giving your favorite toy to a friend and knowing they’ll take care of it. It means believing someone will do what they promise, like keeping a secret or helping you. When you do what you say, like cleaning your room when you promise, people trust you more. Trust is about doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, and keeping your promises.
Thinking about it:
Why do you think trust is important when you're part of a team? How does it help everyone feel safe and strong together?
Can you think of a time when someone trusted you with something important? How did it make you feel, and what did you do to keep that trust?
Why is it important to keep your promises, even when no one is watching? How does this help people trust you more?
