CooperativeGames.com is thrilled to announce our very first printable cooperative board game: Preschooler in the Kitchen! Preschooler in the Kitchen just might be the world’s most inexpensive cooperative board game at just $2.99!
In the game, young children (ages 3-7) take turns drawing cards that describe a kitchen skill such as eating healthy food or using good manners at the table. When the child does the skill he collects a fruit card and advances around the game board. There are short cuts and possible set-backs along the way, but players cooperate to overcome set-backs together. Everyone wins when they reach the kitchen table with their fruit cards and make a yummy fruit salad together. A recipe for fruit salad is included so players can make a real fruit salad if the game perks up their appetite—as it surely will!
Preschooler In the Kitchen is not just a cooperative game, and not just a printable cooperative game, but it is a PRNTABLE COOPERATIVE FRIDGE GAME! What does that mean? This is a game concept we are pioneering and it works great! You simply download the game from CooperativeGames.com for a mere $2.99. You get the cooperative game board, game cards, and envelope templates for holding the game cards. Post everything on the refrigerator and use your own kitchen magnets as playing pieces. (Be carful though. Kids 3 and under should not play this game without adult supervision because they sometimes put small things like magnets in their mouths!)
With your cooperative game posted on the fridge you can play it over the course of a couple days and use it to teach good kitchen habits as well as cooperation. Note: You can also play the quick version of this game by just playing it on a table top like a regular board game. Whether you play the long version or the quick version, Preschooler In the Kitchen promotes a cooperative kitchen and a love of good healthy food!
Kids and parents agree Preschooler In the Kitchen is a delicious way to have fun. Here are a few reviewer comments:
• … a great way to develop a cooperative attitude about tasks in the kitchen and organically connect that to overall health and safety. Also, the fact that it is non-competitive is a great addition, particularly for the preschool child.

• …we would recommend the game [Preschooler In the Kitchen] It was fun! (and the 8-year-old enjoyed it as much as the 4-year-old)
–Annette
• I was very intrigued by the game…honestly, I was confused how there was not a “winner” when I first read through it. Then I loved it!… I loved how it made my boys work together and help each other…my sister’s boys need that practice as well!!! LOL!
