About this title

Synopsis

People Interacting is an extensive resource of interactive games that can be used to help students develop a range of social skills. The 150 activities and games have been designed for a range of abilities and levels of maturity. Each activity is clearly set out with instructions, objectives and points for discussion. The selection of activities cover warm ups, self development and responsibility, communication and relationship, and problem solving and decision making.

The discussion points that follow many of the activities enable students to make sense of what they experience in terms of their own needs – the ability to solve problems, to develop a positive self-concept and to develop their social and interpersonal skills more broadly.
