Getting Along

Teach your students the vital skills of successful social interaction that will last a lifetime. Included are scores of concrete, instantly usable activities, discussions, games, simulations, worksheets, and Sharing Circles that engage students in learning specific pro-social skills in an enjoyable fashion. The activities in Getting Along are designed to address these skills in a deliberate manner and in the process elevate the awareness of students to the responsibility that each has to make the classroom, school, or youth development group into a cooperative, inclusive place where healthy friendships develop and conflict is dealt with productively.

Focus areas include:
• Appreciating differences
• Communicating clearly and effectively
• Developing healthy friendships
• Helping others
• Including others
• Resolving conflicts
