People Interacting: 150 Activities to Promote Self Awareness, Communication, Social and Problem-Solving Skills - Paperback
by Ken Hancock (Author), Barry Blaby (Author)
People Interacting is an extensive resource of interactive games that can be used to help students develop a breadth of social skills. The 150 activities have been designed for a range of abilities, ages and levels of maturity. Each activity is clearly set out with a focus, time, materials, the procedure and points for discussion.
The selection of activities cover warm ups, self development and responsibility, communication and relationships, and problem solving and decision making. Each procedure, variation and discussion topic has been tried and tested and chosen specifically because of the value it provides to students.
Combining the activities with conversational prompts to encourage reflection and discussion, People Interacting aims to encourage and aid the development of the student as a total person by exploring mind, body, emotions, values, and attitudes. The activities enable students to make sense of what they experience in terms of their own needs - their ability to solve problems, to develop a positive self-concept and to develop their social and interpersonal skills more broadly.
