Talkabout Activities

This excellent photocopiable resource is packed with 225 group activities providing a wealth of ideas for those running social skills training for children and adolescents. The first section includes general group cohesion activities that can be used at any stage as starting or finishing activities. The remainder of the resource is divided into six different levels, covering:

• Self- and other awareness
• Awareness of communication; body language
• The way we talk
• Conversational skills
• Assertiveness

Within each group activity the resource outlines any required materials and preparation, and also refers to the relevant worksheets in Talkabout, for those using this as the framework for their social skills training.

An invaluable resource.
