Working together as a team (pt 2/2)
Description
In this second clip on team-working, the six volunteers learn the skills needed to work together on a search and rescue challenge. The children discover that frustrations can build and create problems within the group. One of the difficulties the children identify is that everyone has their own ideas and they all want theirs to succeed, which causes arguments. Co-operation, communication and being calm are seen as some of the key elements to achieve successful team-working.
Classroom Ideas
This clip could be paused several times throughout to allow students the opportunity to discuss the progress being made by the children in the clip, and assess their time-working skills. Students could identify the challenges being faced by the children as they worked as a team, and how they overcame these. Ask students to consider if they would have done anything differently.
Students could then use this clip to create their own success criteria for effective teamwork. Working in teams of four, students could create the criteria, and display it in a poster. Each time groups complete a piece of teamwork, they could be asked to assess how well they worked as a team by reflecting upon their success criteria.
