HPE-Teamwork

Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork consists of three main mechanisms.

Communication is sharing information with your team. Communicating is good because if one of your teammates is going to be hit with a dodgeball you can quickly warn them. An example of this is talking about strategy.

Cooperation is protecting each other. For example in dodgeball someone is throwing lots of balls to one person in their team so they can attack the opponent's team.

Collaboration is showing different actions to your group so they can work together. In dodgeball collaboration is working together to defeat the different teams. For example in dodgeball a teammate will wave hands to another teammate to warn them of an opponent.

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to implemented throughout the activity.
