Remember the Super Tic Tac Toe and tug of war game we used at our Leadership Rally to help kids understand compete vs cooperate. Seeing things in a different mindset.
Thumb wrestling is another game that can show this concept. Have kids get in groups of 2. They are going to thumb wrestle. The goal is to have as many pins as possible. (A 3rd student can record the pins). Give them 30 seconds.
Now, explain that the goal of the game was not to win but to have as many pins as possible. What can you do different (work together how?) to reach this goal. Try it again and compare pins.
Some books for this Habit are:
Alexander and the Wind Up Mouse

The Very Clumsy Click Beetle
Rainbow Fish
The Doorbell Rang
The Butter Battle
Chrysanthemum
Swimmy
Tops and Bottoms
The Very Noisy Night
