"Young children with or at risk for developmental delays often experience considerable difficulty in making and keeping friends. This practical resource for PreK-3 teachers presents the Wanna Play Program, a curriculum devoted specifically to help these students develop social skills and act appropriately in order to make lasting friendships. The book provides hundreds of games and activities with dozens of reproducibles that target a variety of topics such as emotion regulation, team-playing, and body safety. The activities are linked to IEP goals and reporting categories and offer generalizing strategies for children who do not have special needs or who do not have a diagnosed disability. Help set the foundation for later success!"-- Provided by publisher.
