Teamwork really is something that needs to be experienced to be learned, however that doesn’t mean that kids can’t benefit from being taught teamwork in other forms. Discussion, books, example and even movies can be helpful. Below are some of our favorite books that teach different aspects of teamwork. And, bonus, each one would be a great discussion starter! I have them linked below and I wrote down the main message about teamwork that I think each one does a good job of teaching. Each one is a fantastic book in it’s own right and we hope you enjoy them.
