The Discoverers Program combines character development, life skills, academic learning, and outdoor experiences specifically designed for 3rd and 4th grade youth. Each of the books has 61 lesson plans that focus on many of the same themes as the Seekers Program; however, the lesson plans progress in difficulty and cognitive levels. Lessons focus on critical thinking, conflict resolution, perseverance, courage, interpersonal skills, and ethical decision making. A “Home/Family Activity Worksheet” is included with each lesson.
To further enhance the Discoverers Program, each book contains an interactive CD-Rom game for students. The “SuperSafe” game presents a series of six age-appropriate scenarios that give students the chance to make choices about safety issues. The game focuses on issues such as Internet safety, nonviolent strategies, verbal abuse, bulling, youth protection, and unsupervised children. Click to see the online demo of this game.
