This is one of three volumes of instructional games devised to further the development of children's listening, logical thinking, problem solving, and oral communication skills. The games are designed to create a relaxed, informal setting in which teachers can encourage and support children's natural speech and provide language activities that have relevance to children's own experiences and other real life situations. The games in this volume are intended to stimulate cooperative and creative problem solving. In addition to descriptions of 13 games, the volume contains suggestions for using the games successfully in the classroom and for content area applications of the games, a conversation games checklist for evaluation, and suggestions for correcting practices shown by the checklist for need improvement.
