The activities in Team Building Made Easy are simple and effective. Most take no props and hardly any preparation other than reading the descriptions and instructions. Most of the activities can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors, and there are plenty of quiet activities as well as downright boisterous ones. One thing for sure, your group of any size and any age will leave laughing.

What they're saying about this book...
I ordered the handbook when our school decided to begin a school newspaper. I have not had to search for any other resource. This book has everything you might need. It begins with hands-on practical approaches to choosing a staff and things to consider before beginning the paper. It is followed by actual ideas that can be used to produce a true journalistic setting from which to publish the paper. There are many pages that can be reproduced.The book gives ideas for monthly columns as well as ideas for feature stories. It even has a page to reproduce "press badges" for the staff. Our sixth graders produce our school paper but this book would be good for any start-up or established paper.
————————————
We just started our school newspaper this year, and Kids in Print was an invaluable resource for us. It was the main source book we used to help us develop a primer on journalism basics for our elementary school students, grades 3-6. The checklists and other handouts were also extremely useful. Unlike most other guidebooks on teaching journalism, this book covers topics that are relevant to young journalists, in language that is accessible to younger students.

Our school just started a school-wide newspaper this year. We joined NESPA and ordered The Reporter's Notebook for all 20 of our newspaper staff members. It has been an excellent tool for the students to use for ideas, editing, etc! As newspaper sponsor, I appreciated the usefulness of this book so much, I have ordered 20 copies for next year's staff as well.
