Which activity can promote collaboration among preschool-age children?

Working independently on individual craft projects
Participating in a group storytelling session
Listening to a teacher read a book
Watching a video alone

The correct answer is: Participating in a group storytelling session

Participating in a group storytelling session effectively promotes collaboration among preschool-age children because it encourages them to engage with one another in a shared activity that fosters communication, imagination, and social interaction. During group storytelling, children can contribute their ideas, build on each other's narratives, and interact as they discuss the characters and events of the story. This collective experience helps them develop essential skills such as teamwork, active listening, and learning to respect different perspectives, all of which are crucial for collaborative play and learning. In contrast, working independently on individual craft projects primarily focuses on personal expression and skill development but does not inherently involve collaboration. Listening to a teacher read a book is primarily a passive activity, limiting opportunities for peer interaction. Watching a video alone further isolates children from engaging with their peers and does not encourage collaborative skills. Together, these alternatives do not provide the same interactive and cooperative opportunities that a group storytelling session offers.
