Here are two ideas we have used successfully at Literacy Action Inc. here in
Atlanta.

1. Using "Dear Abby," Students individually or in pairs read the "Letter." 
They then identify the problem, the people involved, and think up several
possible solutions.  Students then present their solutions to the class and
justify their answer.  Revealing and discusssing Abby's answer is optional.

2.  Create scenarios of conflicts or situations ( context: work or home)
which require interpersonl skills and critical thinking to resolve.  In
doing this you can customize the conflict, or ask students themselves to
create situations they might (or have) encounter(ed).  Again, individually
or in pairs, students identify the parties involved, identify the essence of
the problem, and develop several possible solutions.  Present and discuss
which solution is best for all involved.  You may also discuss possible
outcomes if no attempt at resolution is made.

Would love to hear how it goes!

One idea:  ask your early childhood teachers how they teach cooperate.

I'm working on a series of workshops for a group of family literacy teachers
who are beginnning to use EFF.  To do this I need examples of how you are
working with students on the interpersonal skills.  I'd appreciate any
suggestions on how you are using "Guide others," "Resolve conflict and
negotiate," "Advocate and influence," "Cooperate with others."  Thanks in
advance for your insights.

Mary
