Tug of war is a team game: everyone pulls together, and the game only works when it is fair. The pack uses that idea to cover both teamwork and fairness.
Children colour a tug of war scene, solve a crossword with words like rope, team and pull, count objects, answer a fun quiz, trace game words, find fairness words, unscramble words, sort fair and unfair actions, find the path to fairness and answer sharing questions.
