Handbook of more than 150 cooperative games and activities for enhancing conflict resolution and communication skills and building self-esteem. Encouraging collaboration over competition, activities such as "Spaghetti", "Blanket Toss" and "Rhythm Learning" foster team-building and positive group dynamics. With a minimum of effort and a maximum of fun, children (and adults) learn to recognize and appreciate each other's special abilities and take pride in their own. Activities are graded according to appropriate age level (1+ to adult), size of group, indoor or outdoor location, and activity level, and include special hints and variations for group leaders.
