For half a lunch-time each week, a selected group of our younger boys and myself get together for some facilitated fun. We each wear a hat. Some weeks we have played skittles, another week bowling in the hall, and many other games and activities. We have watched and tried to master juggling sticks. And we have planted and nurtured a vegie garden.
And all the while, what we are doing is learning how to:
- Positively and pleasantly interact with others
- Find our courage
- Build Friendships
The goals of the T O P S program include:
- Being Assertive not Aggressive
- Finding our Personal Space
- Respecting the Personal Space of others
- Making Friends and Keeping Playmates
- Understanding and practicing limits
- Co-operating with others
