About This Workshop

Show your students what great teamwork really looks like

The Work as a Team workshop doesn't just tell children to work together — it gives them real experiences that prove collaboration works. Through carefully designed challenges that can only be solved as a team, students discover their strengths, learn to listen, and understand that different perspectives make better outcomes.

Every session is adapted to your year group. Reception and Year 1 build teamwork through cooperative play and simple partner challenges. Year 2 and 3 take on structured team tasks that require communication and role allocation. Year 4 and 5 face complex challenges that demand strategy, delegation, and conflict resolution. Year 6 lead teams through multi-stage projects and reflect on their leadership style.

Builds essential employability skills — communication, collaboration, and leadership — that appear in every list of what employers want from future workers.

What Students Do

Six hands-on activities, adapted by age

Every activity is designed to build a different aspect of this skill. Your facilitator selects and adapts activities based on the year group.

1

Trust Builders

Opening activities that build trust and connection within teams — from partner mirrors and guided walks for younger students to blindfold challenges and trust falls for older ones.

All year groups
2

Role Discovery

Students discover the different roles people play in teams — leader, ideas person, organiser, encourager — and identify their own strengths. Teams work best when everyone's contribution is valued.

Year 1+
3

Communication Challenge

Activities where teams must communicate clearly to succeed — building structures from verbal instructions alone, passing complex messages accurately, and learning that miscommunication causes most team failures.

All year groups
4

Team Strategy

Teams face a challenge they must plan before executing — allocating roles, managing time, and adapting when things don't go as expected. The planning is as important as the doing.

Year 2+
5

Conflict Resolution

Through scenarios and role-play, students learn what to do when team members disagree — listening to understand, finding compromise, and keeping the goal in sight.

Year 3+
6

Collaboration Mission

The ultimate team challenge — a multi-stage task where teams must combine all their skills: trust, roles, communication, strategy, and conflict resolution to achieve something none of them could do alone.

Year 2+
Learning Outcomes

What students take away

Every session is designed around measurable outcomes that align with the National Curriculum and the Future Skills Passport framework.

Understanding team dynamics

Students know the different roles people play in teams and can identify their own strengths and contributions.

Effective communication

Students can give clear instructions, ask useful questions, and listen actively to understand others.

Conflict resolution

Students know how to handle disagreements constructively — finding compromise and keeping the team focused.

Collaborative achievement

Students have experienced first-hand that teams achieve more than individuals when they work well together.

The communication challenge was brilliant — they had to build a structure from instructions alone, and the frustration when it went wrong was so powerful. They learned more about teamwork in 40 minutes than they had all term.
