Free printable · A game to build leadership and teamwork
Team Up with Teddy
Teddy has big dreams, but he can't reach them alone. In this cooperative board game the whole team shares one token, spots each other's strengths and reaches the goal together.
What you need
- The printable (3 pages: team sheet, game board, team cards)
- 2 to 6 players (a class can play in small teams)
- One die
- One coin, eraser or button: the team token everyone shares
- Scissors to cut out the cards
- Crayons or markers
Grades K–5, about 20 minutes. A grown-up or reading buddy can read the cards aloud for younger players.
How to play
Make your team
Design the pennant together, pick a team name and write your big goal.
Set up
Cut out the 12 Team Cards and shuffle them. Put the team token on START.
Roll and move
Take turns rolling and moving the one team token. Everyone is on the same team.
Stars, huddles and bumps
Star: draw a card and do it together. Huddle: cheer your team name and roll again. Bump: go back 2, unless a teammate says “I can help!”
Spot strengths
Write down each strength your team spots on the Strengths We Spotted chart.
Reach the goal
Get to the GOAL together and everybody wins.
