    Youth & Youth Activism

    Hello

    Youth and Youth Activism

    There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site.  Take a moment to drop us a line.

    K-2: Children's games: The foundation to youth activism

    Playing children's games is a pastime across cultures.  Children play games with friends using items that are accessible  for fun, connection and exercise.  This pastime is the foundation of youth activism.  It is where children learn leadership, collaboration and connection. This collection of sources helps children explore games kids play across time and cultures.  Through games children make connections, reinforce their identify and group memberships, and begin to understand our similarities and what  makes us unique.  Games also help children build creativity as they engage in experiences reflective of local life.  The sources provided can be used for a single lesson or throughout the mini unit described below.
