(More customer reviews)Every teacher recognizes a need for "live ideas." She is constantly aware of those pauses in the day's occupation when everything seems to be temporarily becalmed--when "something different" is needed to revitalize pupil interest in the subject at hand. It is a situation that taxes the inventiveness of even the most ingenious teacher and finds her looking for a source to draw from.
Here are 500 ways to add zest, variety, and fun to teaching. This is a book of 500 activities, handicraft project, puzzles, riddles, and games that answer the need for fresh, appealing material in the classroom and on the playground, augmented by more than 175 illustrations.
The authors compiled the ideas from their own teaching experiences and associations. In doing so, they have included games and activities that can be correlated with specific subjects. And in each instance they have concentrated on "the practical, on the inexpensive, and on the easy way of making and doing things."
The ideas are varied enough to cover most classroom needs and all grade levels (primary, intermediate, upper). They range from making historical maps to constructing a marimba, from estimating weights and measures to playing and designing games like Bean Throw and Painting When Blind-folded. Detailed instructions tell exactly what to do and what materials to use to carry a project through to completion. The ideas are arranged in alphabetical order ("Acrostics" to "yarn patterns") so that each one can be located quickly and easily. In a comprehensive eight-page index there is a listing of all ideas according to subject matter.
