What you’ll learn
I can communicate effectively and understand why communication is important as a leader.
Key learning points
- Move: we have to complete the challenges as fast as possible to be successful.
- Think: as a leader, we should communicate through both verbal and non-verbal cues to enhance team performance.
- Think: to be an effective leader, we should ensure that tactics are communicated clearly to all team members in games.
- Feel: when taking on a leadership role, we are responsible for supporting teammates and encouraging them to keep trying.
- Connect: to lead a team effectively, we need to communicate instructions clearly and listen to all teammates' opinions.
Words to know
- leader
- a person who guides, inspires and unites teammates towards achieving a common goal
- non-verbal communication
- exchanging information without speaking, using gestures, body language or facial expressions
- team
- a group of people who work together with the objective of achieving the same goal
Common mistakes
Pupils believe talking loudly or shouting is how they should communicate as a leader.
Explain to pupils that shouting instructions isn’t the same as giving clear, helpful directions. As well as this, good communication works both ways and leaders should allow their teammates opportunities to speak too.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Bibs or jumpers will work as blindfold if you do not have access to any.
