“The EnTeam reading game makes learning active, fast paced, and fun. It also makes reading a cooperative activity.”

Barbara Rain, Ferguson Middle School science teacher and peer-mediation coordinator (now retired)

“By turning traditional competitive games into EnTeam Games, boys and girls recognize the value of others and the contribution they can make.  EnTeam Games are successful because they have measurable results.”

Flint W. Fowler, Ph.D. , CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater St. Louis

“We have enjoyed the EnTeam Games because we realize that they develop skills we can use in everyday life. The family interaction has provided us with other ways to communicate and handle problems.”

“Diversity is very important to our students and engaging with Operation Cooperation brings more interactions and opportunities to our school community.”

“I like that the goal of the games is for everyone to succeed. It is great to teach children how to manage their own feelings, while giving them awareness to care about others well-being which helps them truly handle conflict.”

LaKesia Richmond-Brooks, Site Supervisior for Provident Behavioral Health After-School Program at Dunbar School

“I think the idea that we can play together and join hands across neighborhoods gives students a different way to look at competition. It made a lot of difference in their attitude when they could see each other as people, not competitors.”

Samuel McCauley, retired school principal

“I gained awareness of students from other religions through the OC games and snack time – and learned that we are all the same people even if we have different religions.”
