Special Interest
Cooperative Play
Individuals of all ages and abilities can enjoy cooperative play games
and activities that focus on cooperation rather than competition
and can be played almost anywhere with little or no equipment. In
cooperative games, no one is eliminated. When the right games are
chosen for your group they almost always result in total involvement,
feelings of acceptance and lots of smiling faces.
