Cooperation Mini-Lesson (grades K-2)

Teaching cooperation can feel tricky—students know the word, but not what it actually looks like in real classroom situations.

This mini-lesson walks students through cooperation step-by-step using teacher scripting, guided discussion, active practice, and a quick assessment.

Everything is ready to use, so you can focus on facilitating—not inventing examples on the fly.

 This complete lesson is designed for 20–30 minutes of classroom instruction and goes beyond worksheets or discussion prompts—it’s a full lesson following the “I do, we do, you do” model, with an exit ticket to check understanding.

What’s Included:

• Teacher script for direct instruction
  
• Real-world, age-appropriate scenarios with discussion prompts
  
• Hands-on Cooperation Puzzle activity — students take turns completing a simple 12-piece puzzle, practicing
• patience and teamwork
  
• Exit ticket to assess student understanding

Why This Mini-Lesson Works:

• Complete, classroom-tested lesson for early elementary SEL
  
• Focuses on teamwork, patience, and communication
  
• Low prep: print-and-go materials with minimal cutting
