The Teamwork Trouble Challenge: a Friendship Adventure About Working Together, Handling Differences and Solving Problems as Team

Dev Malhotra loves plans, neat schedules and knowing exactly who is doing what. Then the Confident Communicators Club is chosen to create Gulmohar Academy's Welcome Walk - six interactive stations, one Open House and only four days to build it. Dev responds by trying to coordinate everything himself. The result is not efficiency. It is a team with six captains, invisible work, missed handoffs, frustrated friends and one very crowded spreadsheet. In The Teamwork Trouble Challenge, the club discovers that teamwork is not about everyone thinking the same way. Through role mix-ups, decision battles, late drafts, accessibility testing, useful feedback, a missing supply box, sudden monsoon rain and a live event full of surprises, Dev learns how to match roles to strengths, share leadership, disagree productively, hold teammates accountable without attacking them, adapt when the plan breaks and give credit where it belongs. A warm, funny, story-led life-skills adventure for children ages 8-12 about cooperation, leadership, responsibility and solving real problems together.
