What Makes A Good Team?
Whether you're playing video games, building a puzzle, or working on a project, one thing is always true: teamwork makes it more fun! But what actually makes a good team? Let’s dive into what teamwork really means, and how family games and activities can help kids (and grown-ups!) learn to work together like champs.
Communication Is Key
A good team listens carefully, shares ideas clearly, and makes sure everyone feels heard. Even simple games like "Telephone" or "Simon Says" show how communication can make or break a team!
Everyone Has a Role
In a great team, everyone brings something different to the table. Maybe your teammate is great at spotting clues in a scavenger hunt while you're the fastest runner. Teamwork is all about letting people shine where they’re strongest and cheering each other on.
Trust and Support Matter
Trusting your teammates helps you feel confident and safe, even when things get tricky. Whether you’re trying to cross a “lava pit” in an obstacle course or pass the ball in a soccer game, knowing your team has your back makes all the difference.
Mistakes Happen—and That’s Okay!
No team wins every round. Sometimes the ball gets dropped or someone forgets the rules, and that’s part of learning together. Great teams use mistakes as a chance to improve, shake it off, and keep going.
Celebrate Wins (Big and Small)
Winning is fun, but so is celebrating the effort it took to get there! A good team cheers for every solution found, obstacle crossed, and point scored along the way. Sometimes, the best part of playing is just being together.
Want to Try Some Teamwork Fun?
At Metropolis Resort, we love seeing families and teams of all kinds work together and have fun! Whether you're slinging dodgeballs, teaming up for laser tag, or taking on Action City's arcade, there’s no shortage of ways to challenge your crew and strengthen your bond.
Looking for something a little more structured? We also offer team-building packages and corporate retreats designed to bring out the best in your group. From a Blindfolded Laser Maze Exercise to a Photo Scavenger Hunt, Arcade Game Tournaments, and even a Chopped-style Dinner Competition, our planners can customize the perfect experience for your company, club, or organization.
Whether you’re a family making memories or part of a team looking to strengthen their skills, remember: the best teams aren’t always the ones who win—they’re the ones who work together.
