Try the following games as you model turn taking, listening, cooperating, negotiating, and conflict resolution.

What You Need:

• Recycled cereal box


• Markers

• Game pieces (e.g., bottle caps, small figurines, erasers, etc.)

What To Do:

1. Cut the cereal box open to create a flat game board.


2. On the blank side, draw a starting box with a curvy path to a finish line.


3. Segment the pathway by drawing boxes and numbering them.


4. Have your child come up with a theme (e.g., candy land or volcano land) and help decorate the board with obstacles (Volcano! Go back 3 spaces) or scenery.


5. Select your game pieces and place them at the start, then take turns rolling the die or pulling a card.


6. Have your child count the number of spaces and place her piece where she lands.
