Additional information
by Paul Carlino (Author)
This book provides teachers with a lesson plan of team building activities for use in the classroom. The book is organized by quarters - starting with introductory activities and games during the start of the school year - and building to trust activities by the end of the year. Each activity is followed by a list of processing questions. These can be used to help the teacher and students get the most from the activities. There are also variations described for each activity. Activities require little or no equipment, and most can be done within the classroom. This book provides instant lesson plans that can easily be tied to today's classroom issues such as bullying, self-esteem, and diversity. These initiatives are a powerful tool for the teacher to help students work together, get to know each other, understand differences, and improve self-awareness.
