"Play with Purpose"

"Have Fun While You're Learning;
Learn While You're Having Fun"

A Student Workbook
*******

This Workbook is our response to what we perceive as the dire need for this world's students to learn to engage in "high quality thinking!"

Play With Purpose, based on the principles of Howard Gardiner's "Theory of Multiple Intelligences," offers a treasure trove of activities and techniques to help make connections between what is in this Workbook, with their entire academic curriculum, and with their daily lives by doing the workbook's exercises. Play With Purpose will:
  • help students learn to "think outside the box"
  • teach students to innovate
  • help students solve problems creatively
  • allow students to approach any academic subject through their own dominant learning style
  • help students use their intellect, intuition, imagination, and even their feelings to really understand what they are learning.
It is the understanding of what they are learning which will make a difference in your students' lives and their very survival ability. It will give them
  • tools to practice good citizenship in a democracy
  • the ability to develop lasting relationships
  • the chance to develop tolerance and compassion and strength of character... to be a better person
  • the foundation for developing a passion for lifelong learning.
Give your students the opportunity to expand their minds, to see their education as more than merely drill and memorization and tests; rather to actually have fun while they are learning and learn while they're having fun!
