Description

Kids learn by doing, and this guide offers everything teachers need to help students work better in groups and share with others.

Use these classroom activities for teaching the skills of working as a team and sharing with others. This guide was written to be used with the storybook Teamwork Isn't My Thing, and I Don't Like to Share, which focuses on working together both at school and at home. Most of the activities can be used independently, without the storybook. Each activity includes:

  • Instructions for each activity
  • List of materials when needed
  • Activity Sheets
  • Homework ideas
  • Suggestions on variations and extensions

More than a dozen activities include reproducible pages and reward coupons in full color that can be used to recognize students who master and use the skills appropriately.

Any teacher with students in grades K-5 who squabble when they need to share, or who have trouble working together, can use these creative ideas to bring more cooperation and caring to the classroom. Digital content of forms and worksheets are available to download.

Reviews

"I am a 5th grade teacher who is doing a lot of PBL in my classroom. I used the book and activity guide with class and they liked it. A lot of products are for a younger audience but I think the activities in this book could be used with most grades." - Hillary Sanford, Amazon


"I bought this for my five year old daughter so she can understand that sharing is everything and a gateway to making and keeping friends. She had a hard time sharing things at first at school and always claiming everything she touches is hers so I had to get this book for her. It's cute though." - Pisces, Amazon


"I use this book with my 5 year old when he is being cooperative with others. I am a first grade teacher so j use it with my students as well. Good message and talking points. Social stories through picture books help children relate to the characters and situations better than traditional parent or teacher lecturing." - Amazon Customer
