Praise for Everyone Wins!
Building a shared vocabulary of non-competitive games and team challenges has been a critical element in building our school culture. In addition to playing together with a spirit of collaboration rather than competition, our teachers find that de-briefing after playing these games gives us rich fodder to explore group dynamics. I still use my old coffee-stained copy with kids all the time!
- Paul Freedman, Head of School at Salmonberry and President of SelfDesign Graduate University
Everyone Wins is a must-have resource for educators, business leaders, camp staff and even family members who recognize that cooperation doesn t just happen on its own but that it can be nurtured and enhanced with practice, intention and a good measure of fun. Here you ll find a treasure trove of carefully selected activities that build trust, empathy and team building skills in a wonderfully clear and easy to follow manner. In a world beset with conflict, social unrest and tension, learning how to get along with one another has never been more timely or necessary.
- Jacob Rodenburg, co-author, The Big Book of Nature Activities
Everyone Wins is one of my favorite books [by the Lumours]. I used it so much when I was running children/family programs.
- Danelle Benstead Till, education specialist, Alliance Charter Academy
I have used the concepts, group processes and cooperative games [the Luvmours] teach in my work with my family, with teams, corporations and our board of directors. Their work is life changing and Josette and Ba approach people and groups with passion and heart, as well as the kid in themselves.
- Jan Green Bernau, Project and Staff Development Manager, Willamette Valley Vineyards
I never realized just how cooperative activities could have so many uses.
- Melissa Faith, 5 th grade teacher, Chico, CA
While our goal is to include the students in curriculum design it is difficult to satisfy the needs of the whole class. I used to find the process time-consuming and sometimes contentious. Now we just use the Values Clarification games and cooperative communication activities, (amended by the students) and success comes quickly.
- Jake Sensibol, 6 th - 7 th grade teacher, Independent School

Introduction to the First Edition
T HERE WAS BIG TROUBLE ON THE PLAYGROUND at a local independent school. Violence was present almost every day, and most of the first and second grade children had formed cliques. The parent who had the responsibility for monitoring the playground was getting angrier and angrier and lacked support for coping with the situation. The teachers acknowledged the problem and saw it as an extension of difficulties in the classroom, but their every attempt to help backfired. Some parents blamed other parents and other children for the problem, and the administration and other teachers were growing increasingly alarmed. It was at this point that we were called in. Was there any way to relieve the pressure short of major surgery?
Since this is an introduction to cooperative games and activities, we won t describe in detail the different means used to ease the tensions at this school. Cooperative games and activities weren t sufficient unto themselves, but they were the critical factor. They not only provided a common ground for all to meet on but allowed us to test the effectiveness of the other conflict-resolution techniques being employed. The games served both diagnostic and remedial purposes.
The first time we met the class on the playground, we had them play Spaghetti. This was our way of saying to them that we are all interconnected and, though sometimes relationships become knotted up, it is possible to find a solution. Spaghetti is played by having everyone stand in a circle, then each person taking the hand of someone not directly next to them. Each person must be holding the hand of two different people. The object is to recreate the circle while continuing to hold hands. This is not easy to do, and there is often no way to do it, but communication and patience are emphasized if there is to be any chance at all. Once children get the idea, they want very much to have success. This class played twice, with manners no one would have believed possible, before finally winning.
Next we played Rolling Along. In this game, children pair off, lie on their backs, and try to roll down a field with their toes connected. At first we let them pick their own partners; then we chose partners randomly; and finally we deliberately matched certain students together. Of course, there was dissatisfaction with both the random and deliberate methods of pairing, but the game was so much fun, and the release of energy so significant, that the children cooperated.
Then it was into group games such as Chase in the Ocean and True or False. Then we collectively made an obstacle course and collectively navigated it. Finally we played Hug a Tree. This was an important moment in the day because this game requires a high degree of trust. Chi
