For these groups; drama games and activities need to be robust and engaging; and the dozens that appear in this book have been devised with this in mind - and then tested by their target players. Each page features clear instructions on How to Play; notes on the Benefits of the Game; and advice on age range; number of players and timing. Following the ninety games and exercises aimed at developing core skills; the book offers scenarios for a series of improvisational challenges that test participants abilities in mediation; communication; negotiation; assertiveness and managing emotions. Also included is a collection of games aimed at preparing teachers and workshop leaders for facilitating challenging sessions.
