Overview

This video shows teachers a creative way to add non-competitive cooperative games in their classrooms. Students enjoy non-competition activity because it is less stressful for the students which promotes morale, unity, and teamwork.  Thinking about competitive play can be stressful for some students and they may be less likely to perform in physical activity or exercise outside of class if they feel what they do during class is oppressing or demeaning. This video is designed to show you how to successfully teach cooperative games through a method that will benefit children for a lifetime through a positive classroom environment.
