Description

In this book you will find over 150 role plays, micro (quick) role plays, creative activities, and guided imagery which has been developed and used for over 33 years. Everyday people can use these activities to have fun with children in the 8 to 11+ age range, and professionals can take advantage of the psychological and social nature of the activities to foster the social and emotional growth of elementary aged children, focusing on self-understanding, self-control, and the development of social skills. A constructive group experience teaches the children positive outcomes.
