Teamwork Isn't My Thing Activity Guide for Teachers

Any teacher with students who squabble when they need to share or who have trouble working on group assignments can use the creative ideas, activities and games from this guide to help bring more cooperation and caring to the classroom. Former teacher and school counselor Julia Cook has created entertaining games and engaging activities, using everything from jigsaw puzzles and beach balls to spaghetti and marshmallows. The storybook TEAMWORK Isn’t My Thing, and I Don’t Like to SHARE! is part of the BEST ME I Can Be! series and will help students in grades K through 6 learn the social skills of “Working as a Team” and “Sharing.” Each activity provides a list of materials when needed, teacher instructions, and the enclosed CD includes reproducible handouts, worksheets, and reward coupons. These skills are promoted in Well-Managed Schools as part of the Boys Town Education Model®.
