Skills builders
Network stage 1
Know myself
How to motivate a team – and yourself!
The network skills builder is all about team work and how to work well with others to get things done. Stage 1 is recommended for Rainbows.
Here's a taste of the activities you can look forward to trying at this stage. Ask your leader about all the things you'll need to do to earn this badge.
Make and shake - Shake it out! Make a musical shaker and explore what it’s like to work and share with others.
Be brave - Become star of the show with the help of others. Discover that things you find tricky can be a lot of fun too.
Build a team machine - Fancy building a robot? Now’s your chance. Design a robot where each part works together, just like in a team.
Discover -What’s the last thing you learned? Try a new way to learn something about a friend.
Set sail on the relationship - Family, friends, teachers, we all know lots of people. Figure out what kind of relationship you have with them.
