The word-free teaching and training table game. Experience what it means to be taught through this incredibly fun and stimulating game that teaches TAG Teaching. For ages 6 to 106. “You don't say!” The Word-Free Teaching and Training Game reveals the art and power of TAG Teaching, and how it feels to be our students, in a clever table-top game played between two people. This is how it works: Find a partner and grab a set of “You don't say!” One player becomes the teacher and the other becomes the learner. Open the set and spread the various objects in it across your table top. You'll see each set is filled with a curious—but not random—assortment: dice, toy solders, toy cars, dominos, clothespins, hair clips, and more. Each set also includes a clicker, a set of playing cards, and a collection of “rewards.” Now, with your tagger and rewards, can you train your partner to point to a clothespin? Can you train her to pick up a toy soldier? Can you train her to roll a domino and turn the toy car upside-down? Can you put each behavior on a cue? All without speaking a single word? Yes, you can! In the process, you'll discover more about when to tag, how to deliver the reward, and how to shape behavior in less time than you ever knew before. You and your partner will find yourselves howling with laughter, gasping with sudden understanding, and having a lot of fun. Players can hardly believe how quickly their TAG teaching skills advance. “You don't say!” is the ideal introduction for students and other newbies to the principles and practice of clicker training. Launch a clicker class for pet owners with a round of the game, and watch your students become thoughtful, skilled clicker trainers right from the beginning. It is experienced teachers, however, who often learn the most when playing “You don't say!” The cause of stubborn teaching problems become clear. Alternative methods of reaching the same goal arise. And, because it's a TAG game, your leaps in learning will be reinforced by all the fun you'll have playing. |
