Nancy has spent several years working with very young children, ages 3-7 and using adaptations of adventure activities.  She has found that adventure activities and games help even very young children begin to recognize and understand the concepts of cooperation, respect and teamwork.  The book presents the basics of adventure programming-- the Full Value Contract, Challenge By Choice, and the Experiential Learning Cycle -- within the context of working with young children.  Included are sample programs for incorporating an Adventure Play component into a program and a chapter on creating many useful props and toys that children use with the activities.  Pre-School and early elementary grade teachers and providers will find this book packed with ideas and activities adapted for the physical and developmental capabilities of their young students.
