160+ activities that students enjoy doing and leaders enjoy presenting.

Includes more than 130 reproducible pages!

Awesome is truly the word to describe this new publication. No longer do you need to adapt an activity into a lesson you are creating as each activity comes with either a complete lesson plan that is appropriate for an entire classroom lesson or a lesson plan for those times when you have a shorter amount of time. If the activity requires a worksheet, the worksheet is ready to be reproduced for your students. In addition, many of the activities have additional ideas allowing you to expand the original activity or use it in an entirely different context.

The activities are a compilation of some of the activities that were featured in PIC (Practical Ideas For Counselors), the bi-monthly newsletter for counselors.

In this book you will find activities for:

Starting The School Year

Bullying/Anger/Conflict
