Publisher's Synopsis
As kids, most of us experienced the true joy of swinging as high as we could. Running as fast as we could. Leaping, laughing and loving. But at some point, the demands of the world pressure us into conformant, robotic actions that take us through the mundane tasks of life. Occasionally, we notice that some people seem to have a reserve of excitement and energy. These people possess ZEST, that Zany, Enthusiastic, Spice of Today. They live in the moment, grasping all they can out of life and tackling problems with a more vibrant ease. So, is a person doomed to either have it or not? Is there a way to build enthusiasm and harness more energy for our daily activities? The answer is a resounding YES! We CAN propel to a higher way of living. Zest can be caught and taught. Veteran primary school teacher Tamara Zentic has designed 23 activities for teachers to use with their primary and secondary school pupils to help them practice, develop and learn the value of zest! Designed to accompany the ZEST: Live It! book, these activities will engage and excite students, teaching them to find value in the passion and enthusiasm of living with zest! Flipped classroom ideas are listed for all activities.
