ABSTRACT
These games can be effective in promoting a child’s cooperation with a parent or in encouraging siblings to enjoy working together. Before you begin, tell the child that if he/she doesn’t follow directions, you understand that he/she doesn’t want to play by the rules and that you will put the game away. These games should only be played “by the rules” if the goal is to teach cooperation. The games were adapted from work by Debra Wesselmann, MS, LIMHP, and Theraplay.
