Heading: Cooperative Games
  Cooperative games provide children with the opportunity to:
• Build Trust
• Develop Communication Skills
• Develop Team Work
• Develop a Higher Level of Learning

The following cooperative games can be used with people of all ages, but on this site they are geared for use with elementary school aged children.

Remember to give children a few minutes to strategize with their teammates after they have heard the explanation of the game.

After completing each game, get everyone together to reflect on the game. Ask the children what they found difficult or easy, and what they would do differently the next time they played the game.

Have Fun!

Don’t Quit
Don’t quit when the tide is lowest
For it’s just about to turn,
Don’t quit over doubts or questions,
For there is something you may learn.
Don’t quit when the night is the darkest,
For it’s just awhile ‘til dawn;
Don’t quit when you’ve run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.
Don’t quit when the hill is the steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don’t quit, for you’re not a failure
Until you fail to try.
