Springboard
Quick creative activities to
launch learning
by Mary Beth Campbell, Carolyn Hill, & Micah
Jacobson
Teachers constantly face classroom
time limits combined with curriculum requirements that must be
adhered to and met. Within these boundaries educators also desire to
teach social and organizational skills to aid students as they grow
and become a part of their communities and their world. Springboards
contains 50 creative activities and demonstrations designed to
address—in 15 minutes or less—topics like goal setting, focusing
attentions, achieving the “impossible,” time management, and
teamwork.
Combining years of successful experience in education, the authors
include insight on why we use activities to prompt thoughtful
discussion as well as concepts vital to successful demonstrations
and discussions that encompass and encourage profound ideas. Group
leaders, therapists, experiential program facilitators, and
educators of all kinds will appreciate these quick, emotive
activities written deliberately to draw participants’ attention and
encourage deep thinking and learning.
