HEALTHY PLAY WORKSHOP OPTIONS

Healthy Play Training SessionAttending a Healthy Play training teaches all participants the necessary knowledge to successfully implement the program on the following day at their school. We have worked very hard to distill our concepts and information into a practical, eloquent, and simple format. Faculty will be able to easily duplicate this process with their own students.

Our step-by-step approach equips all participants with tools for using Healthy Play as effective classroom and playground management. Your staff will be able to support and enhance positive student social skills, reduce aggression and bullying, foster nurturing behaviors, promote cooperation and maximize involvement via 25 quality activities. Students will be able to learn and practice Healthy Play concepts daily. The training will also instruct teachers how to create and modify additional curriculum material.

Classroom consultations are available. In fact, many schools elect to have Healthy Play staff immediately initiate the Healthy Play process in your classes on the same day of your training. We gladly demonstrate our expertise in using this process while modeling many useful techniques for your staff to learn.

Additionally, the Healthy Play training is a warm, relaxing and stimulating team-building retreat. Approximately 75% or more of your time at the training will be spent doing “hands-on” activities with each other. You’ll all appreciate this enjoyable time together filled with bonding and laughter.

Of special note is the fact that we use less than fifty dollars in equipment. Excess expenses to purchase equipment are either not necessary or very minimal should you choose to duplicate our materials.
