Learning Growing Getting Along
As children become teenagers their social and emotional needs change and guiding them becomes more challenging. The high rate of social change has also made it important for schools to find ways to teach a core vocabulary of social skills to an ever more diverse population of pre-teens and teens. 101 MORE LIFE SKILLS GAMES FOR CHILDREN provides a collection of activities that responds to these challenges.
Drawing on almost 30 years of teaching experience, the author has created games based on cooperation and competition between young people and their social attitudes and perceptions. Educationalists, parents and therapists can use these games to help children deal with the problems and questions of adolescence.
The games tackle issues such as learning patience, self-confidence, love and respect in fun and creative ways. They also teach children how to deal with aggression, have good boundaries and to be fair. Questions help the group reflect on the issues addressed in the game. An explanation of the difference between play therapy and game pedagogy - using games with children - sets up the actual games which are clearly described accessible and illustrated with lively drawings.

Refreshing, Recharging, Refocusing
After a long lesson or event, children are understandably tired. They have been working hard and have been gathering vast amounts of pent-up energy that make them irritable, listless and aggravated. It's high time to shake things up by enlivening them with these exciting pep-up games. Pep-up games improve:
· concentration
· social skills
· creativity
· communication
· improvisation
· coordination
Short game breaks allow children to let go so they can refocus for another effective learning session. 101 PEP-UP GAMES FOR CHILDREN is clearly written and easy to follow. The games are made for children 6 to 10 years old; all games can be easily modified for different age groups. Each game comes with icons indicating the suggested group size, whether physical contact might be involved, whether it is played outdoors and whether props, a large space or music is needed.
Children can have a blast while singing, dancing, acting, racing, exercising, playing ball, treasure hunting and much more. Playing together not only recharges tired children, it also creates a bond between the teacher and the students that makes working together a great deal more fun and productive.

101 QUICK-THINKING GAMES AND RIDDLES FOR CHILDREN
ISBN: 9780897934978
ISBN 10:
As any teacher can tell you, no two students learn alike. Some struggle to finish a test on time, others are done in minutes. Some students need a lot of structure, others need creative freedom. Despite the many different learning styles, there is one common factor: Children learn better when they're enjoying themselves.
Just a few minutes of laughter and creativity a day can be more valuable than hours of homework. They can be used any time and are perfect for free time, supply teacher days and for enhancing Maths or English lessons.
This book is divided into two parts: games and riddles. The activities gradually increase in complexity and teach important learning concepts while enhancing concentration. Ideas for modifying the games are included throughout and helpful icons indicate the size of the group and the need for props, a large space, an outdoor setting or physical contact.
Some activities encourage children to find the correct answer first, some are games of wit and creativity and others encourage children to use vocabulary and language in unusual ways. All of them promote active learning, keep students engaged and give adults and children alike the chance to laugh, stretch and wake up their brains.
