2 day course from 9:30am - 4:00pm

Aim:-
To Introduce the 'Fun and Games' programme as 12 structured sessions for working with small groups in schools (Based on SEBS/SEALS) or to be used as a resource tool for creative ideas.

Objectives:-
To explore and experience through practical exercises, new creative ideas, games and drama techniques in relation to PSHE and circle time.
To develop group rules, boundaries, dynamics and selection for the group work process.
To enhance facilitation/co-worker skills.
To look at how group work can help some children build self esteem and express themselves.
To explore session planning, evaluating process and report writing.
To share good practice.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the programme through observing a group on video.

The 'Fun and Games' programme was devised to work with a small group of children (6-8 in a group) for 12 sessions.

Throughout the 2 days the participants will be able to experience some of the exercises, share their own ideas and look at resources available.
They will also explore the programme structure in more detail, how to set up a group, planning a session and evaluation procedures.
Vicky Elbourne (CAMHS Child and Family Support Worker) has run several courses over the last 2 years for Teaching Assistants, Learning Mentors, Classroom Support Assistants, etc. who said they felt the course had given them fresh ideas and they appreciated hearing how the programme had been received in schools and especially what impact it had made on some of the children.
