What you’ll learn
I can tackle intellectual challenges in a small group by thinking creatively and ensuring everyone is included.
Key learning points
- Move: maintaining balance on the bench requires the centre of mass to stay over the base of support.
- Think: problem solving requires you to find creative solutions to complex tasks.
- Feel: working together to ensure everyone in the team is supported and included shows empathy.
- Connect: working with your peers to achieve a common goal requires effective teamwork.
Words to know
- Teamwork
- working together with others to achieve a common goal- it involves listening, sharing ideas, helping each other and making sure everyone is included and doing their best
- Empathy
- understanding and sharing the feelings of another
- Communication
- sharing ideas, feelings or information between two or more people
Common mistakes
Letting the more vocal students take the lead improves team outcomes.
Outcomes are better if the voices of the whole group are listened to and considered.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Try to organise your group so the most domminant characters are split across sub-groups equally. If students are resistant to hold hands despite encouragment you could add a bib between hands.
