[Jennifer Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a terrific book for cooperative games. Use this for birthday party, block party or playdate games. Each page has one short activity that takes between 5-20 minutes. Each one gives the appropriate age range for the activity. Some require materials and some do not. They are categorized by the social and emotional skill taught such as, cooperation, communication, expressing feelings, etc. I've used this with many different groups of children and have had many laughs and fun times with these activities. I highly recommend.
