Teach Cooperation With Everyday Items

Teamwork is a life skill that we learn over time — we have to practice! Use these simple activities to talk to your child about the rewards of cooperation. “Did we put the puzzle together SO FAST because we worked together?” “Wow, thanks for coloring the boat purple. I wouldn’t have thought of that! We make a great team.”

Directions
Do a puzzle. Choose a puzzle and divide the pieces between you and your child. Work together as a team to complete the puzzle.
Create artwork together. Decide with your child on a theme for a drawing or painting. Work together as a team to create a piece of artwork based on that theme. Encourage your child to share ideas and include the ideas of others.
