Games (& other stuff) for Teachers is an experiential activity book—a special project put together by teachers for teachers. The activities in this book focus on developing pro-social skills that will help both children and adults interact in a positive and caring way. The activities are meant to be fun and easy to read. All necessary equipment can be obtained within the classroom or school setting. Sample questions are provided with each activity for discussion purposes, and variations are also provided to help you adjust to the skill levels of your students.
Games (& other stuff) for Teachers contains sit-down, get up & go, as well as paper and pencil activities appropriate for students ages eight and older. With very little extra planning you will be able to implement the individual and group efforts that focus on a wide variety of pro-social skills such as listening, following directions, cooperation, diversity, patience, persistence, and many others. If these skills can be learned in the classroom, there is a chance they may be used outside of the classroom to enhance the interaction of students’ lives and communities.
