Games that Foster Cooperation





Today in Lunch Bunch we invited the Unicorn children to join us for some organized gross motor activities that foster cooperation.

Blastoff

We placed colorful rubber shapes all over Simon Hall. We told the children which color to look for ,then we put on some Hanukkah music and let the rockets blast off to a planet/shape. When the music stopped they were asked to land on a yellow, blue, orange or green planet(each time it was different). If there was not enough green shapes/planets for each child, they had to work together and figure out how they could share the space on the the rubber shape.

We also played Squirrels Change Trees which was a big hit again and Mr. Fox a popular game as well.
