"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!

This workbook is ideal for middle school aged students,
but we have tested it, with adaptations, on students
as young as the third grade, and as advanced as adults.
The principles apply to anyone and all of us.
