Cooperative Games Leadership Program
A Win - Win - Win for Elementary Schools
Cooperative games are something used as an icebreaker in various settings to build community and character; everybody plays, and everybody wins! They are designed to be fun but have the added dimension of strengthening skills, such as listening, focusing, problem solving, impulse control and cooperation. These skills can chart a course for success in life any any age, so why not start young?
Read more of what Debra Osoffsky, STAR (Sanders/Stonestreet) Family Resource Center (FRC) Coordinator said about the Cooperative Games Leadership Program.
