Kids on the Path Marge McCarthy

"Kids on the Path" was designed to guide school personnel on how to plan, build, and maintain a labyrinth at their school site. It was first published in 2007. It stresses the importance of total buy-in from: teachers, staff, parents and especially the students. The book provides labyrinth-themed lessons for the classroom in all subject areas: math, science, art, music, health and wellness, affective/social domains, language arts, art, social studies. The book has been sold across North and South America, Europe, Australia and Africa. Perhaps the popularity of labyrinths in schools today is a result of the frantic pace of our society. Children feel pressured to succeed academically, to excel at sports, to be popular, to participate in a multitude of after-school activities and to please their parents and teachers. The labyrinth is a tool that allows calming of the mind, body, and spirit - for children, teachers, and school personnel. Enjoy walking the path of this book in creating your labyrinth.
