What Makes a Good Teammate? Template – National Simultaneous Storytime Link
This soccer‑ball strengths as a teammate template is the perfect way to explore what makes a good teammate.

The activity encourages students to:
- Build self‑awareness by identifying their personal strengths.
- Develop emotional intelligence, acknowledging how their behaviour impacts others.

- Engage in reflection connected to National Simultaneous Storytime themes (e.g., belonging, cooperation, kindness, teamwork).
What Makes a Good Teammate Activity
After reading Luna Roo as part of National Simultaneous Storytime, this activity helps students connect the story’s themes to their own experiences of teamwork. Luna Roo highlights the importance of friendship, support, and celebrating individual strengths – the perfect foundations for exploring what makes a strong positive teammate.
As a class brainstorm different ways to show you are a good teammate, some examples could include:
- Being encouraging
- Helping others
- Sharing and taking turns
- Showing resilience
- Respecting everyone
- Giving your best effort
After the class brainstorm, have students complete their own soccer ball full of what they believe they bring to a team – what makes them a good teammate.
