YOUTH PROGRAMMING: ACTIVITIES AND GAMES NEW! Available January 2010 Shape self-discovery, problem-solving, and communication skills Preteens and teens need help in acquiring the social skills to appropriately handle challenging situations. Without those skills, a minor disagreement can often escalate into a physical confrontation. Character-Building Activities provides nearly 100 activities that will help children and young adults gain a better sense of what they value based on their character traits, become more effective communicators, and discover how to communicate their values and strengthen their convictions. Character-Building Activities: Teaching Responsibility, Interaction, and Group Dynamics Judy Demers ©2008 • Paperback • 168 pp ISBN 978-0-7360-7206-9 • $19.00 ($21.95 CDN) Use technology to build personal connections Team-Building Activities for the Digital Age offers a fresh approach to promoting interpersonal communication and encouraging young people to express their individuality and build face-to-face relationships. The activities use the technology that today’s young adults thrive on—including cell phones, social networking sites, MP3 players, blogs, and digital cameras—as an opportunity for education and enlightenment. Each of the activities serves as the basis for guided conversation about topics such as diversity and cultural sensitivity, teamwork and problem solving, and communication and self-expression. For each activity you’ll find instructions for leading the activity, a list of the technology and other materials needed, a goal for the activity, and several questions to help jump-start conversation so participants can explore the purpose of the activity and discuss what they’ve learned. You’ll also find suggestions for running the activities when the requisite technology isn’t readily available and for modifying the activities to make them more challenging. In addition, the authors offer practical tips for planning, preparing, and leading the activities, plus ideas for creating a supportive environment that encourages respect and the safe sharing of information.
