What are coalitions?

A coalition is when a group of people or things team up to reach a common goal.

Imagine you and your friends want to build the biggest sandcastle at the beach. One of you brings buckets, another has a shovel, someone else has a lot of sand, and another knows the best way to stack bricks. If you all work together, using each other’s strengths, you’ll make an amazing castle, that's a coalition in action!

Think of a coalition like a group of friends who each have different toys but play the same game. One friend has a big ball, another has a swing, and another has a slide. When they all join together for a party, they can make it more fun by sharing their toys, that's teamwork in a coalition!

In real life, coalitions help people do bigger things than they could alone. Like when different classes at school team up for a sports day, each class brings something special to the event, and together, they have more fun!
