The best way to teach children to cooperate is through team sports at school, to what extent do you agree or disagree?
Teamwork has become a valuable virtue in many countries to the point that they try to bring up
children
with this
skill. There is an argument that doing sports
in a team
is the best way
for children
to acquire that at school and I mostly agree with this
idea.
On the one hand, it seems to me that there are also
other ways for children
to learn teamwork other than team
sports
. They can get tasks such
as cleaning their class as a team
or playing some games. For example
, grouping students by their teacher and playing pantomime is a way
to learn that thinking together is more beneficial. Another way
is taking a group examination. In this
way
, each student should answer just one question but everyone will get the same score. Therefore
, all of them will be panelised if even one pupil cannot answer correctly. Consequently
, they will all study together for the next
exam.
On the other hand
, I almost agree that learning cooperation through team
sports
may be the best way
for children
. They will find out that the smallest disharmony would result in losing the game. For instance
, if a defender passes the ball to a player from the other team
, they may receive an irrecoverable goal and lose the game. Therefore
, the importance of teamwork and harmony will be revealed to them. Cooperation in a team
sport also
simulates a workplace atmosphere for them when they should work with their colleagues to achieve their goals.
In conclusion, although
there are many ways to teach children
to cooperate, I approximately agree that participating in team
sports
at school is the best way
not only for their childhood but also
for their adult life.Submitted by Sarah_nazari on
