Skills builders
Network stage 2
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 2 is recommended for Rainbows and Brownies.
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.
The plan?! - Can you predict the future? Of course not! But what you can do is think of what you want to happen, and work out how to try to make it real.
Friend detective! - What are the best things about your friends? Go on a mission to discover what really makes a good friend for you.
All for one, one for all! - Will you be more successful working on your own or as a team? Take on different challenges to see when teamwork’s the secret to success.
Listen, look, move - How do you learn and remember things best? Try some different ways and see what works for you.
Game over - Mistakes might make you feel upset or embarrassed, but they shouldn’t. To do your best, you usually have to get things wrong first. Knowing what went wrong can help you do it better next time.
