       1. Begin by explaining to the children that team building challenges are activities that promote collaboration, communication, and resilience. Emphasize the importance of working together and supporting one another.

       2. Divide the children into teams of 2-4 members, depending on the number of participants. Ensure each team has a mix of ages and abilities to encourage cooperation and support.
