What & Why
A team is a group of friends who work together to do something, like play a game, build a tower, or clean up.Why is it important? Because when we work together, we can share ideas, help each other, and have more fun than playing alone! Teamwork makes everything better.

Everyone gets a turn to help it grow.Help Each Other: If a block is wobbly, a friend can help hold it steady.Cheer!: When the tower is super tall, everyone cheers, “We did it!”You all worked as a team to build something amazing!
