Abstract: "The Chinese have an attitude toward sport that can best be described as 'friendship first, competition second.'" This manual is an attempt to show children and the adults that work/play with them that "a game that includes the added dimension of striving toward a common goal can also be exciting. Everyone can have a relatively equal share in the victory, and everyone is a participant right to the end." Included in Friendship First are instructions for 50 games that encourage co-operation, friendship and fun. There is also a selected bibliography of 38 stories and fairy tales that deal with the themes of conflict resolution, co-operation and feelings. Most are geared to 6-9 year old children. Descriptions of 17 films on sharing, peace and co-operation complete the manual. Although designed for use in Summer Playground Programs, this manual would be useful in almost any situation where children have come together to play. Subject Headings |
