team+work

Teamwork.
Teamwork is very important in the workplace, especially for communicating with the people you work with. Many companies invest time and money teaching their employees how to work effectively in a team. Please contribute to this page by adding any games which teach team work skills. Again the age group the game is aimed at, as well as any online links, comments or recommendations are appreciated and are valuable to readers.

This online computer game should be good for building the idea of team work, you have to control both players and use them to help each other get through the levels. []

**__Loop Cards__**
Loop cards are a very valuable resource which can be used and adapted to suit any age group/ any subject in the primary school curriculum. The subjects that I have found them most useful in have been the core subjects, Maths, Irish and English.

Many websites have many pre-prepared loop cards that can be easily downloaded, e.g. Sparklebox. []

You could also easily make simple versions of these using microsoft word, allowing you to tailor the task to suit your class situation.

This encourages team work, but also encourages listening skills (as they must listen for the question that corresponds with the answer on their card). I usually use it as a 'beat the clock' exercise, which encourages more active listening and I have found that the children concentrate much harder.
