Publisher's Synopsis
Kids learn by doing! Former teacher and school counsellor, Julia Cook, has created entertaining games and engaging activities (using everything from jigsaw puzzles and beach balls to spaghetti and marshmallows) that teach students the social skills of working as a team and sharing. This guide offers everything teachers need: instructions, lists of materials when needed, activity sheets, homework ideas and suggestions on variations and extensions. A CD includes all of the reproducible pages including "reward coupons" in full colour that can be used to recognise students who master and use the skills appropriately. Any teacher with students who squabble when they need to share or who have trouble working together, can use the creative ideas in this book to bring more cooperation and caring to the classroom.
