Cooperative games are games where the challenge is solved by the group rather than won against an opponent. Success depends on communication, shared problem solving, and every member of the group contributing.
Example activities
Adventure education, icebreakers, team building activities
Key concepts and tactics
Communicating a plan clearly while under pressure
Listening to and building on other people's ideas
Making sure everyone in the group has a role
Trying, failing, and adjusting together
Noticing and naming what actually helped the group succeed
The games here are the free version. #PhysEdU Plus gets you the printable game sheets, the Assessment space, and the full Library, alongside a few hundred PE teachers who are running these same games with real kids and telling each other how it went.
