As members of a team, students will learn about the life skills of trust, communication, cooperation and logical thinking while playing games, solving problems and working through challenges. The team will be collectively analyzing how effective they were before, during and after the games. This processing of experiences will focus the students on discussing how to use these skills to solve problems and challenges they encounter at home, at school and in the community.

Upon completion of the Team/Initiative Games class, students will be able to:

• Use logical thinking, trust, communication and cooperation with others to solve problems.
• Understand that practicing life skills can empower us to reach our goals.
• Realize the need to have effective citizens who can work together for a quality environment.
