Explanation
Cooperation and mutual help are old traditions of our people. Help is supporting someone who asks or is in trouble. Cooperation is when several people do one job together. In the mahalla neighbours hold a hashar to plant trees and clean the area. In a team everyone has their own task, for example in football. To work in a team we also respect others’ opinions.
Worked examples
“Our class flower bed”. The children of the class wanted to make a flower bed. One carried soil, one planted seedlings, one poured water, one drew a plan. In a week the flower bed was ready. Everyone said: “It was quick because we did it together!”
Class activity
“Together”: groups divide roles and make one big picture or puzzle; each child has a separate task.
