Team-building For Kids
An essential value for modern society
In the past, traditions were passed on from generation to generation without much reflection, but these days many parents are starting to think much more consciously about which values they want to instil in their children - and team spirit has become very important for today's society.
Parents that realise how important it is to teach their children team spirit casually start the learning process in play, choosing cooperative group games over competitions. For a few years now, youth group leaders, educators and sports associations have increasingly been encouraging the use of team-building games. The thinking behind these is nothing new; experts have long been outlining the benefits. Yet the presence of collaborative games in the everyday life of modern families is still rather uncommon, and they are therefore seldom played at children's birthdays.
Advice for Parents at Children's Birthdays
It is here that the parental advice book "Competition-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids - Non-competitive Children´s Party Games" by Dr. Scheffler-Hadenfeldt comes in. This guide illustrates the team-building nature of cooperative games and makes targeted use of them at children's birthday parties.
"Competition-free Birthday: Teamwork Games for Kids - Non-competitive Children´s Party Games" presents a wide range of fun, exciting, imaginative and funny games for both indoors and out, all based on the team-building principle. For example, there are quiet games, energetic games, imaginative and story-telling games, food games, water games, arts and crafts, magic tricks as well as themed birthdays such as Pirates or Horses. In addition, the advice book also provides clear information on inventing your own games, and offers plenty of practical hints and tips for creating happy and successful birthday parties.
Picture caption: The "Making Children Strong" initiative also focuses on developing team-building skills and provides various games models for big events.
