Games and Play

Before TV and video games on demand, children spent more time with each other and more time outside. They knew the rules to more games, and, even more important, had better negotiation skills for keeping the rule-breaking in check to maximize the fun.

We have lots of great toys and know lots of great games. Most people aren’t going to choose this first from our menu of Ostraka program offerings, because the idea of being “taught to play” may seem odd at first, but let us recommend two contexts where “Play Class” works best:

● Teen Leadership: Entertaining and Managing Younger Children
● Supervised and Directed Play During Another Seminar
(If we are doing a seminar that is only appropriate for parents, or older children, then this is a good way to constructively occupy the rest.)
