Vocabulary: working with others
Know and use the vocabulary of working with others — cooperate, share, take turns, team, listen, agree, disagree respectfully, and include — and understand that these words describe habits that friendships and group work depend on
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Vocabulary: working with others means using cooperation words that friendships and group work depend on. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Word cards: cooperate, share, take turns, team, listen, agree, disagree respectfully, include
- A 2-minute group game (blocks or cards)
Extra for the adult
Worked example. We cooperate when we take turns and listen. We can disagree respectfully and still include everyone.
Optional challenge. For Vocabulary: working with others, use disagree respectfully in a second example.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: words used in play; one respectful disagree; support used. This session samples cooperation vocabulary, not mastery of group dynamics.

Check understanding
- Use 'cooperate' and 'compromise' correctly — e.g. 'We cooperated by taking turns choosing the game'
- Explain what 'active listening' means and demonstrate it: facing the speaker, not interrupting, responding to what was said
- Use 'share', 'take turns', and 'include' to describe how they work with others in a group activity
“When your child is working on something with a friend or sibling, can they use words like 'cooperate' or 'take turns' to describe what they're doing — and actually practise those things?”
