Games and Closing Activities
Classroom situations, especially those covering life skills, can encourage children to dig deep into themselves. Activities that are light-hearted, quick and fun can help break the tension and renew group energy.
Games can be used at any stage of the session. Some games have a specific purpose and some simply raise or lower the energy level. It is important to adapt games to suit the needs of your group. We have used every single one of these games and we know that they work!
Our book is free and we hope you enjoy using them with children!
