Winning Together or Alone?

Is it more fun to win a game by yourself or with a team? Some kids like to play alone. Other kids like to play with friends.

Playing Alone

When you play by yourself, you get to make all the rules. You get to pick the game. You can play how you want. If you win, you know it was all you. You did it all by yourself! That can feel good. You don't need to share the prize. You are the boss.

Playing with a Team

When you play with a team, you get to share the fun. If you win, you all win together! You can help each other. It is fun to work together. Maybe you are good at running. Maybe your friend is good at kicking. Together, you can win! When the team wins, everyone is happy. Winning as a team means you have friends to cheer with.

Which is Better?

Both ways to play are fun. It is good to play alone sometimes. It is also good to play with friends. The best thing is to have fun! What do you think is more fun?
