Don't be put off by the price because this book is worth its weight in gold. As a public school teacher, I refer to this book throughout the year, each and every year. We can't assume our children know what "teamwork", appropriate behavior or even "good sportmanship" is. We often need to provide explicit instruction and plenty of practice. This book offers literally hundreds of activities to teach those social and interpersonal skills many of our kids seem to lack. My classroom is a happy, welcoming, enjoyable oasis in the school thanks to Dr. Borba's book.

I checked this resource out from my University Library (School Counseling Grad Student) and knew IMMEDIATELY I wanted to purchase it.

Worth a good chunk of money, but DON'T SPEND THIS MUCH ON IT. I've found it on alternate websites for 60-70 bucks! Second Edition and all!

Be smarter about how you throw around 120 dollars!

Excellent resource, though.
