When you look in a mirror, what do you see? You probably see one boy with one color of hair, one color of eyes, one nose, one mouth, one head, and one body. It’s all about the number one. As one boy you can do many things. You can keep your room clean, do your school work, sing a song, ride a bike, and fly a kite all by yourself. But what if there was another boy beside you helping out? Could you do twice as much? Would your chores be finished quicker if you had help? What about three or four more boys working together? How much could you do?
In this adventure, you will see how you are part of several teams and how much you can accomplish with your team. You will tackle challenges with your Tiger den team,
do projects at home with your family team, and also see how you can become part of a community team.
So get ready to roar, team Tiger!
