| Recommended Reading
Many of the activities and ideas
found on this site reflect the work of Dr. Spencer Kagan. If you haven't
read any of his books, I recommend that you start with his big book, Cooperative
Learning. You can order these five books at Amazon.com. You can also
order my cooperative learning books directly from Kagan by following the
directions at the bottom of the page.
Cooperative Learning - An absolute
must-have! This was a life-changing book for me!
Classbuilding: Cooperative Learning Activities - Highly recommended
if your students are having
trouble getting along as a class - easy
activities and plenty of blackline masters
Cooperative Learning Structures for Teambuilding - Highly
recommended if your students are
having difficulty cooperating with each other in teams
Silly Sports and Goofy Games - Recommended for PE teachers and
elementary teachers who have to teach PE - a wonderful alternative to
competitive games!
Multiple Intelligences: The Complete MI Book - The name says it
all! This book is huge and has everything you need to know in order to
incorporate Gardner's MI theory into your teaching. You'll find the
theory, but you'll also find tons of activities and blackline masters.
In addition to these books, you might be interested in my cooperative learning
books for teachers (shown below). You can order the books from Kagan
Publishing. Just click the link and do a search for books by Laura
Candler. Email me if you have questions about any of the books.
