"Believe that problems do have answers, that they can be overcome,
and that we can solve them." - The FabFirst5 aims to help
children do just that.
After being available online for some time and attracting much interest from
teachers, therapists and students, we have now repackaged the FabFirst5
program to make it even easier to use in the classroom and at home on
your PC. And we've added in some extra resources to make the process
even more fun for children.
The Fab First 5 School and Home Packs offers teachers and parents the
opportunity to help children stay motivated on a regular basis.
Both packs contain the following items:
• The FabFirst5 Powerpoint presentation CD-Rom for computer & e-whiteboard use
• A Facilitator's Guide in a handy Companion Book
• Master pdfs for the Possibili-tree™ and leaves - in both colour and B&W
• 20 x Blackline masters of classroom activities ideal for use in the last
sessions on a Friday afternoon, or for whenever specific challenges arise.
• 'Hang up your worries' script to lead children through a quick meditation process
• A4 pdfs of A for Attitude posters to print & display on your classroom wall.
The main differences b/n the two packs, is all in the Companion book:
Fab First 5 School Pack Companion book is A4 size:
• offering easy identification of activities. P/copy them straight from the book
• with easy to manage wiro-binding cased by a sturdy cover with labeled spine
• full of tips and suggestions for classroom use
Fab First 5 Home Pack Companion book:
• is compact - sits inside the DVD case
• is printed in full colour (encourages children to read it too)
• displays all activities in mini-view - choose then print directly from CD Rom
• full of tips and suggestions for how and why to use at home.

"I am the grade 5/6 teacher at Rosebud Primary ... I have found
the Fabulous First Five Minutes program VERY good for my
students, and we have been putting our worries away in the
morning, by posting them on our 'Possibilitree'.
The kids have responded in a very positive way, and remind me
when we haven't 'done our tree' in the morning.
Thanks for such a great program!"

her clients aged 5 - 15 years and is very happy to recommend it
to others.
"The 'Fabulous First Five Minutes' devoted to the 'A for
Attitude Campaign' could be the day's most valuable lesson.
From my experience, having used a similar approach, the time
spent is time saved, as my students' behaviour, motivation and
participation improved.
Children possessing an acceptance of themselves and others, a
positive attitude and an action-plan as promoted in "A for
Attitude' have a head-start for life!"
