I am presenting to a group of teachers and need a short love and logic activity to introduce the program to them. Does anyone have any ideas?

Perhaps your public library has the video?

One quick and easy way to present L&L to teachers is to teach them how to go "brain dead" when faced with arguing students. Using enforceable statements is a quick and easy task they can learn in one session and begin using in their class the next day.

Also check out the L&L site. They have many articles you can print and distribute to the teachers, or maybe you might make a table with the info on it for those interested to grab. If you have any L&L materials (books or CDs), I might bring those for the table as well so they can look at them and get an idea what L&L is all about.

I would also make sure you mention what "Love" and "Logic" mean (Love means allowing your students to make mistakes when the cost is low, Logic means allowing them to suffer the natural consequences to learn from their mistakes.)

...role playing? There are quite a few great scenarios in the book, which can be played out by you and another adult playing the kid. I think this would be a great way to introduce the "practical-ness" of Love and Logic.
