Working together 

Let's try arm wrestling!

1. Find a partner​
2. Sit across the table, facing your partner​
   
3. Grab the right hand of your partner with your right hand

How to win:

1. Every time your partner's hand touches the table, you get a point
2. Try to score as many points as possible in 60 seconds!

How many points did you score?

5

15

25

40

More!

What was your strategy?

Win together!

The best strategy in this game is to work together.

If you take turns hitting the table, you are quick to get the most points together!​

​

If you think you can only win if someone else loses, we call this 'win-lose thinking'​

Was this your way of thinking during arm wrestling?​

Yes

No

Win-win

You can also try to win together

It's nicer and often smarter

It helps to find out what your partner's aim is

If I have to work together, I will

tell my group what we're going to do

just start and see what happens

discuss the best approach with the other group members

think about my strengths and how we can use them

Let's do riddles!

1. Try to solve the riddle in the next slide as quickly as possible
2. Write down your answer and time
3. Don't show or tell anyone!

Riddle #1

Water lillies double in surface every day​

After 60 days, the pond is completely covered​

How many days does it take to cover half of the pond with lillies?​

How many days does it take to cover half of the pond with lillies?

Now...

Form a group of 4-5 people. Sit together​

Try to solve the next riddle together​

Write down your answer and time again​

​

Riddle #2

There has been an accident​

Father is unconscious​

The son has to go to the hospital​

Once there, the doctor calls out: 'I won't operate on him, it's my son!'​

What's going on?​

Why doesn't the doctor want to operate?

It's easier to solve a riddle together

agree

disagree

What can be a downside to working together?

Together or alone?

On your own, you can work quickly and extract the most out of you​rself

Together, you have more hands, more knowledge and more brainpower​

Let's try out!

• I will ask my brother/sister/family member/class mate for help with a subject I have trouble with​
  
• For the next group presentation, I will ask which part we will do alone and which part together. That will make working together easier​
  
• I will try to do my homework in three different ways: alone, together with a classmate and with a bigger group. See what works best​
