As a substitute you can spend your day dodging erasers and yelling at a roomful of boisterous children. You can function partly as babysitter and partly as scapegoat.

OR you can turn the regular teacher's absence into a special opportunity - for you and the children. you can introduce new activities...games that review basic skills...projects that integrate subject areas.

In this unique survival kit two experienced teachers describe a variety of techniques that will help any elementary school substitute do a better and more satisfying job. They offer ingenious suggestions for changing the classroom routine in practical, down-to-earth chapters on:

• Openers
• Language Arts
• Social Studies
• Mathematics
• Art
• Holidays and Rainy Days

A special chapter "for courageous substitutes" describe learning activities for teachers who don't mind a bit of mess and noise.
