Games about co-operation

We can nurture co-operation in our classrooms in many ways. Our own behaviour, including the ways that we treat children and adults reinforce co-operative behaviour among learners.

We can also make use of games and activities that help children experience and learn co-operative and constructive ways of interacting.

Three such games are available here:

- Fruit salad

- Compliment beanbag

- Characteristics cube

Review these games and use them with the children in your classrooms. You might also be interested in
