		<description>All I can say is keep writing. Some professional bloggers post three or four times a day on the blogs, simply because this constant addition of new content helps them how to get regular readers.</description>

		<description>Glad you liked the idea Marissa.  I generally teach adults so I&#039;m not too concerned about promoting this or that.  Adults get a laugh out of this kind of thing and I like laughing students.

For children though I&#039;d be more inclined to agree.  Just change it to something more kiddy like pin the tail on the donkey or a new type of basketball or something.  When I did the trust exercises in general it was just presented as a game without any context.</description>

		<description>Nick, 

Thank you for mentioning my own post as well as being fired up by it and doing something to implement the ideas in an actual lesson.... 

Your lesson reads like huge fun backed up by good educational value. 

One small reservation which I am voicing with all due respect is this: I would personally hesitate to buid trust and rapport by using a game which includes the idea of &#039;war&#039; and &#039;tanks&#039;. 

I know that children use them even as toys but I do not think that educators should repeat the errors of misinformed or uninformed parents. 

Is there some other way you could do this? I wonder.</description>
