Teamwork

Working cooperatively with others to achieve a shared goal

This skill is about how individuals work with others to achieve a shared goal.

Initially, individuals show they can work with others, behave appropriately for the setting, keep time reliably, and take responsibility for simple tasks.

The following steps focus on supporting others, being accountable for their goals, contributing to group activities, and valuing others’ contributions.

Suggested activities to try at home to build the skill:

• Cook a meal together. Decide together what you are going to cook, then share out the jobs between you. Talk about the process and celebrate by sharing and eating the final meal together.
• Organise a family film night. Speak to everyone in your household to gather film ideas, then organise a vote to decide on the winning film.
