 One Math Teacher who Needed Some Ideas...got them!Jun 20, 2008
Sometimes, like before long school breaks, i want to plan an activity for the kids that is fun and helps them learn a little more about themselves and/or each other. This book has lots of great ideas divided by category (very helpful); i'm planning to try several of them in the next schoolyear (2008-09). Also, some of the games can be adapted to serve instructional purposes; a bonus!
 Great Resource!Jun 02, 2008
I found this book to have some great ideas for group activities that introduce and teach social/emotional skills. As a social worker in a junior high school, I have implemented many of these activites into my daily activities. Highly recommended for teachers, counselors, social workers, etc.
Great for groups!Mar 31, 2008
If you're a therapist or therapy intern looking for ideas to use with children in groups, there are several good ones in here. Some need weird supplies, but most have a good core concept that you can tweak to work with common elements in the classroom. Especially good for "Social Skills" groups, which seem to be more and more popular in elementary schools today.
My daughter's projectMar 28, 2008
I bought this book for my daughter because she is doing her practie in psychology for children and she told me that too many people had recomended this book to her. Also, she was reviewing the book and she said that it is very helpfull for her.
Also, I want to thank you guys for your delivery it is excellent; this is not the first time that I order items from Amazon and I'm always very satisfy with them. Thanks a lot. Boise,Idaho
Not your average group manualMar 22, 2008
I bought this with the hope of finding experiential exercises to provide an alternative to talking-only groups. I work with an adolescent population and have used many of these activities with them. My clients enjoy the exercises. Most of the exercises would also be appropriate for an adult population, and many of them could be adapted for elementary-age children. Anyone who conducts groups on a regular basis will find this manual to be a helpful addition to his or her library.
