Welcome to The Ohio Association for Play Therapy (OAPT)! The OAPT is a chartered branch of the Association for Play Therapy. Ohio APT is a not-for-profit incorporation that is dedicated to providing a forum for the professional growth and development of the play therapist, providing training to the mental health community, and advocating for appropriate mental health treatment for children.

We invite you to join us for our annual Spring and Fall Conferences in Columbus, OH. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), please contact us and we would be happy to connect you to fellow play therapists in your area.

"The Power of Play will Blow you AWAY!"

​ ​Play is a natural-fun-creative-spontaneous-necessary experience for children and adults to develop healthy lives. The capacity to play appears to be built into our biological makeup as we can hardly restrain or be restrained from some form of play in our lives.

Think, reflect, and imagine a time you felt like you really played:
Who, if anyone, was involved?
What were the signs and sounds?
What was around you?
Where were you?
How did you feel?

After sharing, consider this: What made it play and not work?

Kids learn best by doing! Sixty creative, innovative, teacher-proven and user-friendly activities which will influence student behavior and attitudes for a lifetime. These activities cover topics such as alcohol and drug prevention, communication, problem solving, working together, decision making, self esteem, character, goal setting, anger management, stress management, peer pressure, etc. These activities have worked successfully with inner city, suburban and rural kids whether they are at-risk or gifted students. The activities are designed for grades three through twelve. The activities require very little in the way of preparation and materials. You won't spend a lot of time getting them together or a lot of money buying supplies. Feedback from those who work with kids has been extremely positive and kids love participating because they are non-threatening, safe and most of all fun. You won't find any worksheets or word search papers in this book. It is full of activities that will get them engaged in their own learning process and will help them internalize the concept you are teaching. Use the activities as stand-alone modules or to add some spice to lesson plans you already teach. The activities have been helpful for those in the classroom, after-school programs, camps, church groups, scouts, mental health centers, counseling groups, etc. Each activity comes with the teaching concept explained, materials needed, activity described and suggested questions listed. Most of the activities are from 5 minutes to 30 minutes in length. Enjoy! Show More Show Less
