GIRLS IN REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS: Grades K-5

N/A

I had bought the Girls in Real Life Situations book for 6th grade and up and LOVED it. I decided to buy this one for younger grades. There are not as many exercises/activities in this one, but there are a lot of handouts , such as, word finds. This book is still handy and I have used a lot of the activities inside of it. Both of these books have been, hands down, the best group activity books I have ever purchased. They are realistic in regards to time, materials, finances, etc.

This is a great intervention program for girls in the school. The lessons need to be adapted to the time frame of an actual school day as there just is not enough time to do multiple activities in one session, but the girls LOVED this group. I will use it over and over. I also enjoyed all of the printable materials and resources. It is a well thought out program and it is a great package.

I purchased this book to help facilitate a fifth grade girls group who were struggling with friendship issues, aggressiveness, and cliques. I use some of the activities in the book to help start conversation, but I found some of the activities to be shallow and geared toward a younger crowd (perhaps third or fourth grade). However, the book is categorized into different aspects of development and does offer some good suggestions to build cohesiveness within the group.

I wanted something that would make running groups more fun for me and for my students, but I found this book is not always going to be a click, print, and run to your group. Some of the activities require a little prep, or materials you might not find readily available. So always be a day ahead of yourself. My students were always excited to see what we doing for the week!

I am a school counselor at an elementary school grade K-5. I have several friendship/social skills groups and this book is amazing! Love that it has a cd to print the papers you will need. Get this book for your resources its a must have!

Great for girls ministry

I was introduced to this product by another professional. It had just the activities I was looking for when working with girls. I would highly recommend it.
