5 WAYS TO ENGAGE A CHILD IN COOPERATIVE PLAY AT HOME

1. Educate them on turn-taking skills.

Teaching children about turn-taking fosters self-awareness and it becomes a part of them as they grow older. Engaging them in board games like Trouble or Sorry encourages group play and the concept of taking turns. Similarly, games that involve block building as a group can teach children valuable teamwork skills through simple, enjoyable means, setting a foundation for these principles to become an integral part of their lives.

2. Show support during play dates.

One of the ways to encourage cooperative play among kids is by cheering them on and being actively involved. This may require thoughtful planning of their play dates, being present, and inquiring how you can make their experience better by getting tips from an expert in the field.

3. Engage them in simple tasks.

Allowing your kids to help out with simple household chores such as arranging the pillows on the sofa, folding laundry, cleaning their room, and setting the dining table is a way of instilling qualities like kindness, teamwork, and consideration for others. This also contributes to the development of their social skills.

4. Create exploratory activities

Encourage them to familiarize themselves with different activities to foster their developmental and cognitive skills. Consider a scavenger hunt, treasure hunt or simply paking up a dance with music using household utensils as instruments.

5. Build a fort

Building a fort indoors or outdoors provides a fun opportunity to bond. It helps to nurture cooperation skills and develop the ability to share ideas through communication.
