Great Combo of Activities May 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Haven't used this in practice yet, but I read through most of the activies. This book offers a lot of great social skills activities that are easy to incoroporate in the classroom or for school counselors. You can easily pick and choose activities that might be useful in your own group sessions or adapt activities to your group goals. It could be improved by including more last session/wrap up ideas for closure. It could also implement additional processing questions so the user doesn't have to think to much to create his or her own.

This series of books are wonderful for students who lack social skills. I have shared the book's ideas with colleagues and all seem to enjoy the lessons provided.
 This book was disappointing January 3, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
The description said you could easily apply the skills and exercises at home, outside of the classroom environment, but it is clearly written for classroom use.
The author doesn't really explain what to do with each exercise either, it's seemed more like a list of suggestions or ideas than real activities. For instance they would say "come up with a story to show typical youngsters conflicting over a problem and give examples of how to resolve those problems without violence."
That's what I got the book for.... if I knew how to come up with scenerios like that and exercises on my own, I wouldn't need help.
I gove it 2 stars because there are a couple of worksheets included that do seem like they are useful practices, but other than that, this was a waste of money.
Valuable Resouce but... November 12, 2006

I have used this book often in my social skills group for 6th graders. It is a good starting point but some of the material needs to be adjusted to be used with these students or simply to be more entertaining. I tend to use the information to introduce a topic, then use an activity or game, and then will use the reproducible worksheets as a review/post-test.

This has been an EXCELLENT book for me. I would say that I get 3/5 lessons for the week out of this book. The skill steps are listed out and easy for the students to follow and the independent practice is fun for the students.
