It can be hard working with children who are selfish. Not only because
they do not work well with others, but because they very rarely want to
try new things. This is because they want to stay in their own comfort
zone, in order to control the situation. These types of children needs
team building all the more, and can benefit from a large amount of
team work. Working with or on any time will help children realize they
are not the only ones who have a voice. Other children and adults as
well can have options and choose how things turn out.
If you are looking to find some team building activities for kids that are
selfish, you should stick to group activities as well as pair work. This will
bring the child out of where they are comfortable and force them to
interact with others. When a child is out of where they feel
comfortable, they will try new things. If a child is selfish, working with a
team can help them learn to share, and work with others. Lone sharing
activities do not work well, as this is a child who does not need to share
more, but less about themselves.
Team building activities for selfish children should also have them
thinking about others, and finding ways to increase the people they
associate with. As most selfish children stick to one group. A couple
group activities that may work well with such a child are:
Games for children
BLANKET NAME GAME: Have your group divide itself into two groups.
Tell them to sit on the floor facing each other. Hold up a blanket
between the groups so that each team cannot see the other. A member

of each team is quietly selected to move up to the blanket. On the
count of 3, drop the blanket so that each of the selected members is
facing each other. Then race to see who can remember the others
name first. Who ever loses goes to the other team.
HOGG CALL: Break the group into two pairs. Each pair must choose two
things: a machine and an animal. They then have to decide who is
which. The pairs then divide up on opposite sides of the room.
Everyone must close their eyes, and by only making the noise of their
character would make, the must find their partner. When they find
their partner, they can open their eyes and wait until everyone is done.
When conducting an activity with eyes closed, have the group raise
their hands in front of their chests as bumper guards, and have at least
one person (leader) acting as a spotter.
Both of these activities will insure the child does not play alone. It also
insures that each child is able to use a voice, rather than one selfish
child doing it all. Selfish children only need a little guidance and some
team work to find out it is more fun to be part of a group.
