The Speaker

Only the person holding this card can speak

Today, as part of our team building day, we are going to come up with our own rules for team work. The rules

that you come up with today will be the basis of teamwork rules across the whole school- so think

carefully!

In your groups now, you need to decide who should take on the main roles:

The LeaderThe Timer

The MotivatorThe Recorder

The Material SpecialistCaptain Question

Remember only the person holding the ‘speaker’ card can talk

Now, in your groups you need to look back through the notes you made before break, using these notes and any new ideas you have you are to come up with 6 rules for teamwork.

When you are sure about your 6 rules you are to produce, as a team, a poster.

Leaders ready?

Motivators ready?

Let’s go team!
