What is teamwork?

Teamwork is when people work together to do something bigger than themselves.

Imagine you and your friend are trying to build a really tall tower with blocks. If you both stack blocks one on top of the other, your tower can be much taller than if you each built separate towers. That’s teamwork, you’re helping each other out so you can achieve something greater together.

• Everyone has a job: Just like in a game where everyone has a role (like one person passes the ball and another tries to catch it), in teamwork, people do different tasks that help the whole group.
• You share ideas: If someone has a good idea, they can tell the others. It’s like when you and your friend decide together what game to play, you both get to have a say.

When you work with others, things get done faster and are usually more fun. You also learn from each other, maybe your friend knows how to stack blocks better than you do! Teamwork makes big tasks feel easier, like turning one small tower into a giant block castle.
