Notes for Parents
You can help your child to improve his / her teamwork skills by playing the following games at home:
Hot and Cold – If your child has a sibling or a friend round to play get one of them to hide a small object such as a keyring. The hider must help the finder to find the object by giving the command ‘HOT’ when they are close to finding it and ‘ COLD’ when they are far away.
