Playground memories and diplomacy
Something to encourage and role model.
An in-crowd kid picking the goofy or uncoordinated kid, early in a team choice, is one of the most meaningful and powerful things he or she can do for themselves, the kid chosen, and others watching.
Were you that last picked kid?
Building long term relationships and reputation is far more valuable that any playground game score.
Often the outsider kid has skills, resources and connections that would be valuable to you and your friends, now or in the future. Not only would you make a lasting friend of the kid, but their parents and family become a resource for you as well.
Ask any adult about the lasting memories, feelings and impact of being picked last on a regular basis.
