Abstract
The introductory section explores a suggested timetable for the activities provided and gives suggestions for setting up the classroom, the use of a 'group circle' and an opening exercise or icebreaker. Each activity is described in terms of the rationale, materials, and activity content. The activities are divided into the following four sections: image building - self awareness, with activities such as writing an autobiography; image building - giving and receiving, including activities which foster the individual's sense of self; awareness of others through awareness of self, in which cooperation is stressed; and values clarification - getting to know self through others, which includes activities designed to explore individual differences, stereotypes, and values.
