We have been combining our education, real-life skills, and love of children into a successful workshop for children for 6 years. To find more in-depth plans for you to improve a child's social skills, be sure to pick up our book—The Wanna Play Program.
Making Phrases Sweeter
Purpose: Analyze the phrases that we use and hear and find out if they are “Sweet Words” and if they can be improved on.
Materials: Posters/easel paper, markers, crayons/markers for children
Preparation: Make a list of words/phrases used by the children or by their favorite characters and cartoons. Write them out on one poster for children. Use ones the children have used or ones that can be found in current culture including popular cartoon characters.
Procedure:
1. Show children and read the list of words and phrases
2. Have children go and identify which are in “Sweet Words” and which are not.
3. As a class or in small groups have the children rephrase the words to make them “Sweet Words”
