Help every child learn positive social skills!

Youngsters at risk or with developmental delays or disabilities may experience considerable difficulty in learning how to make friends. This practical teacher resource presents the Wanna Play Program, a curriculum devoted specifically to helping PreK–3 students develop the social skills they need to interact appropriately with individuals and groups.

This parent- and teacher-friendly handbook provides over 60 lesson plans involving more than 300 games and activities. With dozens of reproducibles, it offers many instructional options for teachers, including:

  • Lesson plans outlining teaching concepts, objectives, and attitudinal approaches
  • Links to Individual Education Program (IEP) goals and reporting categories
  • Practical, flexible methods of engaging young students in developing friendship skills
  • Constructive advice for teaching children who exhibit difficult behavior but may not have been diagnosed with a disability

Discover how to foster young children’s ability to develop the relationship-building skills they’ll need in their early years and beyond.
