While working with my staff in the Early Childhood Center of the International School of Brussels to begin implementing the Tribes process, I sat with several Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teachers to develop a list of activities from the Tribes book that they found worked very well.  I wanted to post this for other Early Childhood teachers who might find the larger bank of activities in the book overwhelming.  I hope it is helpful.
