Sarah Westville -! Teacher Fidget Busters is a great publication provides a wealth of fun activities for foster children when they just needed a break! Built on sound theoretical and practical knowledge of how children learn and the need to receptive minds and bodies active, this is a fantastic resource for ‘brain breaks’ and ‘energizers’. Presented in a clear and lively style, easy to use Fidget Busters is a must for every teacher toolkit! About the authors and a background on the book The authors, Sharon Drew and Liz Atter are both experienced therapists who have been involved over several years with children with a variety of different learning abilities and difficulties. They believe strongly in the use of everyday activities to intervention outcomes, notably by working in context. For children, this generally means working within the school setting, hence the need for activities that can be inclusive and easy for teachers to introduce equipment and with minimal disruption to be. It also wished them a more ‘realistic’ view of the needs of educators and children in the classroom setting that work to tight schedules and budgets. Working primarily with children with special learning needs authors to explore the benefits of the movement to enhance learning concepts by introducing a multi-sensory approach to learning. They also noted the benefits of regular exercise breaks to help children and youth to their attention and concentration levels of moderate and higher quality to maintain a time when they are usually busy learning a hard time still, the processing of language or visual information or the maintenance of motor control. Fidget Busters is an accumulation of all these factors and experiences wrapped in a quick, fun activities that have little space and no special resources.
