Cooper Mastercraft Tire

Are you tired of listening to the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat?" If so, introduce your children to cooperative games – games in which players work together to achieve a common goal. A cooperative game makes each person's participation essential. The following games will get your campaign off the ground.

Games for the Very Young

Shoe Biz: Each player removes one shoe, puts it in a pile, then retrieves a different shoe from the pile. Next, the players form a circle and join hands. Now, without letting go of their neighbors' hands, the players return each shoe to its rightful owners.

Or try Cooperative Musical Chairs. For this version of musical chairs, line up chairs back to back, one less than the number of players. Play music as the children march around the chairs. When the music stops, the object is for everyone to find a place to sit. Remove a chair after each round and watch the little ones work together sharing space and laps.
