“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”
We, at GENIUS KIDS SCHOOL, aim to provide a comprehensive and holistic education to the students by instilling teamwork, as an indispensable skill. Participating in team activities can help students develop essential communication and collaboration skills while preparing them for success inside and outside of the classroom.
Benefits of Teamwork for Student’s Development and Success
1. Teaches essential social skills.
Teamwork teaches essential communication and social skills, such as active listening and effective speaking.
Students learn how to listen to one another in order to function as a cohesive unit.
Teamwork teaches students how to respectfully and confidently express their ideas and opinions effectively in a group setting.
2. Improves self-confidence.
Teamwork teaches students that their voices are respected and valued which helps build a student’s self-confidence.
This becomes a self-sustaining cycle: participation in team activities teaches students how to be better communicators, which in turn helps every member of the team feel valued and respected.
As a result, even the most introverted and quietest members of the team can become active participants and learn to enjoy team activities.
3. Sets students up for future success.
The benefits of teamwork almost always translate into success outside the classroom.
There are very few career paths that operate in isolation. Introducing students to collaborative environments early in their school experiences presents opportunities for them to be more productive and joyful .
This satisfaction will be reflected in their school performance.

Family activities such as board games, cooking and dining are great for teaching important social skills such as collaboration, compromise, and respect.
At school
