Note to parent or teacher: Here’s a 20-minute lesson plan on the benefits of teamwork (working well with others).

Watch children’s music video, “As a Team.”

Look up Ecclesiastes 4:9–10.

Read or listen to “The Badger and the Honey Guide.” Children can color “Coloring Page: The Badger and the Honey Guide.”

Ask your children if they can think of things that they may not be able to do on their own, but could do with the help of someone. Provide some examples from your own life or examples from history of people helping each other in order to achieve something great (e.g., Noah had help from his sons in building the Ark, the Wright brothers worked together in building one of the first airplanes, etc.).

Read or listen to “Kids World: Many Trunks Make Light Work.” Children can color “Coloring Pages: Many Trunks Make Light Work.”

Brainstorm things that are present in your children’s lives that could be done better if teamwork was used.
