An essential skill in working and living with others is the ability to work cooperatively. Learning to take turns, interact with others, share, and communicate politely are all important steps in developing cooperative skills. This activity is designed to teach those skills, and to illustrate that many jobs can be performed cooperatively. Other skills can be incorporated, such as counting, fine motor skills and sequencing. Lessons include Independent Living, Social Skills and Career Education.
