Outward Bound, Project Adventure and others teach SEL skills Experientially to students from schools all over the world. We can't always take a day or a week for a field trip but we can get some of the same benefits from our classrooms. I'll demo some of the experiential SEL activities working for me in my classroom. We will play a few ice breakers, try some activities that work well for choosing partners and see some ways experiential games can be adapted to teach content areas. Then we'll discuss any areas where someone wishes they had an activity and try to send folks home with activities you need. We can't all have acres of land to explore with our students but we can get them enjoying connecting and learning in some of the same ways. Come give it a try!
