It's important to be able to work in a team.

Working Together

Working Together is a very important tool to learn and something that isn’t necessarily innate. This KS1 PSHE quiz will help children learn how to work together and be a better group member.

There is no I in team. This means that in a team, everyone is important, not just one person. This quiz is going to test you on working together, or in a group. Let’s see if you are a team player!

You need to find a pair - who should you pick?

Someone who has the same name as you

Someone you don't know and would like to get to know better

Someone that is tall

Someone that is short

Pair work or group work is a good way to get to know other people and make new friends.

Someone in your team is struggling. What should you do?

Shout at them

Leave them behind

See how you can help them

Tell the teacher that they should be in a different group

You are a team. That means you should work together and try to fix any problems as a team.

In school, when should you not work together?

Playing rugby

During a test

During a class assembly

Hymn practise

All these other activities are done in a group but tests are to see how you do individually.

Which of these is not a team sport?

Football

Cricket

Hockey

Snooker

A team sport involves more than one person.

Why should you work in a team?

Because you are told to

Because certain games have to have a set amount of players

So that you can help each other and become better

So that you have someone to chat to

Being in a team means you have others to help you and that you can learn from.

You've been the only one talking in the group. What should you do?

Keep talking

Ask if anyone else would like to speak

Demand that someone else talk now

Refuse to say another word

Sometimes when you're so full of ideas you can talk and talk and talk! But don't forget, a team is made up of more than one person and other people might want to speak too.

Oh no! You don't agree with someone in your group. What should you do?

Throw them out of your group

Ignore them

Shout at them

See if you can reach an agreement and if not, take a vote

Voting is the fairest way to decide as it means you do what most (the majority) of your group wants.

Why do teachers sometimes put you in groups?

Because they think it's funny

Because they like saying the word 'group'

Because they think you can learn from each other

Because they love watching you argue

This is the main reason. Sometimes an activity is too big to be done by one person, so you have to work in a group to get the task done.

You have been writing all the answers for your group. Is that wrong?

No - you have the best handwriting

No - you want to do it and so you should be able to do it

Yes - you should ask if anyone else wants to write and if not, carry on

Yes - it means your team mates are lazy

If your team is happy with this choice then that's fine but if not, perhaps you should take it in turns and share all the tasks.

10.

You feel shy and hate group activities. What should you do?

Ask a friend in the group if they can help you build up your confidence and start with a small task

Sulk

Cry

Pretend to be invisible

You may want to cry but unfortunately crying never helps - instead try and talk to someone in the group; they might feel the same. If that doesn't fix the problem, see if a teacher can help you.
