ALIVE! Class Summary
Social Skills and Relationships
Week Two

Teammates

We need to cooperate, be flexible, try our best and support each other in our relationships. This week’s class focused on the different types of teams we all have in our lives. Family, friends, classmates, roommates, coworkers and other relationships function as teams. We discussed the qualities of teams and then went outside to play some competitive games to demonstrate good team behaviors.

First, teams had to keep a ball in the air – counting how many touches before the ball fell to the ground. It was challenging and fun competing with each other! Another game had each team using a leaky cup to move water from one bucket to another in a relay race. The team that filled their bucket highest won. The final game was to fit the entire team inside a rope circle – and the circle kept getting smaller! The team that figured out how to arrange everyone inside the rope won that contest. Students really worked together and encouraged their teammates to compete and do their best.
