Teamwork is the best<br />

formula for success<br />

By: Melanie Baum<br />

Magen David Yeshivah<br />

Vivian was having color war in her<br />

camp. She was captain to team one.<br />

She chose all her friends for the committee.<br />

They sat down and started to<br />

work. Vivian and her best friends would<br />

get all the good<br />

jobs. They would<br />

dance and sing.<br />

She gave her<br />

other friends the<br />

jobs of acting and<br />

art. Vivian was so<br />

excited to start.<br />

Alison, a shy girl<br />

asked, “Can I be<br />

in art? I am a really<br />

good artist.”<br />

Vivian didn’t even<br />

look up. “No,” she<br />

said and just left.<br />

When color war<br />

was over, Vivian<br />

looked at Alison’s<br />

work of art. “I<br />

should have picked her,” she thought.<br />

That year Vivian didn’t win color war<br />

but she learned an important lesson.<br />

Magen David Yeshivah<br />

If you have teamwork and you are<br />

working together, then you have a better<br />

chance of winning. If you try to be<br />

the star, you are not going to win because<br />

everyone is trying to be the star.<br />

Prospect Park Yeshivah<br />

One time, when we had color war,<br />

the girl who was chosen to be a captain<br />

didn’t let anyone do anything.<br />

She wrote the song and sang it. She<br />

drew the poster and presented it. Of<br />

Alone we can do<br />

so little,<br />

together we<br />

can do so much.<br />

course, we lost and the other team<br />

who worked together won. Another<br />

year, a girl got chosen as a captain<br />

and she really knew how to be a captain.<br />

She put people who were good<br />

at things in charge of what they were<br />

good at. All she did was present the<br />

poster and make sure everything runs<br />

smoothly. Obviously, we won that year.<br />

Bet Yaakov Orot Sara<br />

Everyone would want to be the captain<br />

so they could get a lot of credit.<br />

People don’t want to make banners<br />

because they don’t get so much attention<br />

for it after only 2 minutes of showing<br />

the banner. One<br />

ESC time, a girl wanted to<br />

help with the banners<br />

and other girls didn’t<br />

let her. At the end, we<br />

lost points for it. When<br />

everyone helped<br />

each other do the<br />

banners and badges,<br />

it came out very good<br />

because everyone<br />

had her own idea<br />

and putting all these<br />

different ideas together<br />

made us win.<br />

Bnos Yisroel<br />

When you are working<br />

on color war, if<br />

you are in charge of badges, people<br />

might say that what you made up is<br />

weird and then you’ll feel like you did it<br />

all for nothing. When everyone fights<br />

and wants to do everything by themselves,<br />

then you are guaranteed to lose<br />

points and lose the whole color war.<br />
