3rd part: PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY Nº29:“ WE ALL HELP ”
AGE from 3 years up PARTICIPANTS the whole class PLACE classroom MATERIAL Wooden sticks, markers, plasticine, two decorated cans NOTES	OBJETIVE To foster cooperative work
Development of the activity We decorate the cans (that should be at least 10 centimeters deep and have a minimum diameter of 8 or 10 centimeters ). We distribute a stick for each child so that he write his name on it. If they still don't write, the educator can do it. Then, we make him an ornamental handle with the plasticine and leave them to harden. These sticks will be denominated "assistant sticks" and all will be placed together in one of the decorated cans. Every time that the child, or some of them, collaborate in a classroom task or he lends his help to somebody, he should take out his stick and put it in the other decorated can that will be located in another place, separated from the first one and that has written on it the legend: "I have collaborated today." The educator should insist on the importance that the second boat is full at the end of the day.
