Toys can be tools to encourage children to play together and cooperate.

Materials:

• Toys that can be used by two people:
  for example a seesaw, swing, wagon, or ball

Directions:

Show the children several toys that can be used by two people. Encourage the children to tell how two friends can share each toy. Pair each child with a partner and give each pair a toy to share. Encourage the pairs to play together. (If a child wants to play alone, help him or her choose another activity. Perhaps that child will choose to play with a friend another day.)
