- Move: success in challenges requires working together quickly, handling balloons and equipment with precision and care.
- Move: throwing a ball requires the opposite foot to step forward, following through and pointing at the target.
- Think: considering the unique talents of everyone is an effective strategy to ensure everyone plays to their strengths.
- Feel: working together as a team to achieve challenges gives a sense of belonging.
- Connect: social interaction can include verbal and non verbal communication with your peers.

Common mistakes
A team will still be successful as long as some of its members contribute and work hard.
Everyone should be given the opportunity to use their voice and have a role to ensure success. Every pupil needs to be encouraged to share their ideas and listen to others in each learning cycle.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Ensure all four teams are balanced with the more vocal and reserved characters to give every pupil a chance of contributing. Reward teams for their contributions beyond just the physical form (social and creative skills etc.).
