2.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment, April 19, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Self-Esteem Games: 300 Fun Activities That Make Children Feel Good about Themselves (Paperback)
Most activities in this book are only appropriate for very young children. I am a fan of Barbara Sher's other books so I bought this without browsing it first. Many of the '300' activities are chants with various words. For example: "we've all got a name, first and last, tell us your name and we will laugh". Another activity is to let the child smell food flavorings. Fun stuff if you're 3 but there isn't much for an 8 year old.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick help, June 1, 2003
This review is from: Self-Esteem Games: 300 Fun Activities That Make Children Feel Good about Themselves (Paperback)
This is a great book to be able to grab when you need an activity. One thing that I really enjoy about B. Sher's activities is that the are low prep. and you know that anything you find in her book will be of value to the children.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to use, February 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Self-Esteem Games: 300 Fun Activities That Make Children Feel Good about Themselves (Paperback)
Wonderful book for parents, teachers, baby-sitters, etc. Gave the Hebrew edition (available in Israel) to a friend who enjoyed using it to entertain the children on a trans-atlantic flight. I highly reccomend this book and others by Barbara Sher, including "Extrodinary Games with Ordinary Things"
