Living Values Activities for Children Ages 3-7

by Diane Tillman

As pervasive violence shatters our nation, the call for values echoes through headlines and school hallways as educators, parents and children become increasingly concerned and affected. The Living Values series offers a variety of experiential activities for teachers and parents to help them teach children and young adults to develop twelve critical social cooperation, freedom, happiness, honesty, humility, love, peace, respect, responsibility, simplicity, tolerance and unity. In each book, these twelve values are explored using age-appropriate lessons that incorporate group discussions, reading, quiet reflection time, songs, artwork and action-oriented activities. These lessons are already in use in more than 1,000 locations in sixty-two countries. Pilot results indicate that students are enthusiastic and teachers report a decrease in aggressive behavior and more motivated students. The Living Values Educational Program was born when twenty educators from around the world gathered at UNICEF Headquarters in New York in 1996 to discuss the needs of children and how to better prepare students for lifelong success. These global educators identified the curriculum and the program was ready for piloting in February of 1997.

[Labeba Salameh · Rating 3 out of 5]

يحتوي هذا الكتاب على دروس محضرة لتثبيت 11 قيمة لدى الأطفال من عمر 3 الى 7 سنوات
من عيوب الكتاب الاناشيد المترجمة الركيكة وعدم وجود رسوم توضيحية للانشطة بعض الباترونات في المرفقات لن تضر
بعد إعادة القراءة خفضت التقييم إلى ٣ نجوم فالجهد المبذول في تعريب العمل من قيمنا وترانا ماني للأفراد

Finally!! It was okay, I wish my daughter's teacher could use some of these, I used some with my daughter at home - I hope it stays! ;) Moving on to a couple of fiction now. Non-fiction books can really drain your brain

This book has beautiful, short lessons that are divided into the following units: Peace, respect, love, responsibility, happiness, cooperation, honesty, humility, tolerance, simplicity, and unity. It is non-religious but could easily integrate religious components.
