Activities to Enhance Child and Adolescent Group Development So what I am going to do in group this week? Is that a question that plagues you week in and week out? Do you wish you had wonderful activities at your fingertips that would enhance the development of your group? Activity Day is the workshop for you! Jim Caron, Ed.D and Kathy Jantzen RN MS CS will be leading this all day conference, where participants will have the opportunity to try out activities and share their favorites. You will learn how to decide what activity will address your group’s particular needs, how to manage acting out through activities and how to match the activity to the stage of group development. Everyone will go home with an “Activity Book” with detailed descriptions of activities, materials needed and what kids and stages of group development the activity works best with. Activity Books from past CGTA Activity Days have been cherished for years. This workshop is geared to group leaders from all settings, including schools, clinics, hospitals, residential, private practice, and community groups of all types. Participants are invited to send in a copy of a favorite activity beforehand to share with group and be included in a handout packet. A $10 rebate will be given to you the day of the conference. Activity descriptions should include the name of the activity, purpose, materials needed, preparation and description of the activity. Remember to give credit to any source. Please send the activity sheet in with your registration or e-mail it to cgtanet@yahoo.com. Participants interested in sharing and activity please download an activities form to email back or send in. Please note the Jig Saw Puzzle Activity as an example by Kathy Jantzen. |
