Getting Things Done TogetherTeamwork is when you work with others. Whether you’re at school, at home, or

with your friends, it’s an important skill to learn. Being able to work well with others makes things better and easier. Teamwork can be fun.

If you play a team sport, like soccer, you will have experienced that working together is the only way to play a good game. Even if you are a good player, you cannot play the game all by yourself. You need your teammates if you want to play the game properly and have a chance at winning.

Working in teamwork means that everyone does his or her part to help the team win. Maybe one player is good at passing the ball, while another player is good at scoring goals, and another player is a good goalie. When you work together, you can all do what you do best.

Many times things turn out better when you work as a team. Not everyone is good at the same thing, so working in teamwork means you can benefit from each person’s skills.

Working with your teammates isn’t always easy, especially when you have different ideas, but learning to get things done together can mean a better job done or a better creation. For a team to work well together you need to show respect, listen to others, communicate, and then be willing to do your part.

It can feel great to be part of a team, so try to help others feel welcome. You can do this by encouraging them to join in your game or activity, helping someone who looks like they might be having a difficult time, and being sure to thank others for being part of the team.
