The teaching of valuable life skills has become a vital part of education for young people today. Teachers, parents and caregivers have begun to recognise that these skills inevitably contribute towards the growth of wisdom in a child - and it is wisdom that will enable the children of today to discern, distinguish and evaluate, guiding them to make the choices which will better serve them in their lives.
This book provides a collection of fun activities that will allow children to discover, experience and learn the life lessons and skills which will guide them as they grow older. Designed for inclusion as part of PSHE, Citizenship or Character Education curriculum for children aged six and upwards, these activities provide a valuable platform for teachers to facilitate discussion around topics such as honesty, peer pressure, sharing, tolerance, contribution, compassion, self-confidence, trust and leadership.
