I Just Don't Like the Sound of No! Activity Guide for Teachers

How can teachers help young students in the classroom learn to accept 'No' calmly and disagree with others without arguing or getting angry? In this guide for teachers, author, Julia Cook, uses everything from a game of tag to fifteen-bean soup in activities that teach students how to use the social skills featured in her children's book, I Just Don't Like the Sound of NO! These 24 games and activities, in addition to being challenging and entertaining, call upon students to use imagination, teamwork and creativity to complete them. They, also, exercise children's observation, reading, writing, thinking and decision-making skills. Each activity provides teacher instructions, lists of materials, when needed, and activity sheets for use in-class or as homework. Sixteen reward coupons can be used to recognise students who demonstrate the skills correctly. The enclosed CD-ROM has pdf files of all of the reproducible pages in the activity guide plus extra worksheets to use. Reward coupons on the CD come in full colour and black and white. (bkcd, cdxp)
