When is the right time to get kids involved in teamwork and what does it mean to be part of a team? There are many great ways to introduce kids to team building. Use team building games and activities to get kids to understand the meaning of being in a team.

Try to find some games that have kids work together on some kind of problem solving. Children naturally have a shorter attention span (一段时间) than adults so present it in a funny way. Create a reward system for teams that are able to work together in order to reach a common goal. When they solve the problem and receive a reward, it gives them initiative to keep working hard and cooperating with others. The best games are those that require direct communication between team members.

Organize a game of 20 questions for the kids to play while building a team. Draw up a series of cards with different questions on each. Have each child select a card and then ask another question on it casually. It’s a great way for the kids to share and discover common interests. Kids need to be entertained and social when in a large group. This will lighten the mood greatly and help the quieter team members to come out of their shells.

Have the kids sit in a circle or around a table and share their favorite things. Start with something like movies or books and move on to anything from toys to animals. Sharing interests creates discussion. When you share interests with someone, it is easier to relate to them. Kids finally want to be friends with most other kids. Encouraging them to get along socially is always positive. By sharing interests they can form valuable bonds that will serve them as both individuals and as a team.

Remember that failure has produced many successes. 【小题3】 Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, "Einstein, you will never achieve anything!" Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become composer（作曲家）. Henry Ford's' first two car companies failed.

Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make." It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. 【小题4】

Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don't work out, take it as a chance to build perseverance（坚持不懈）. Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up. 【小题5】
