Bell’s knowledge and understanding towards children’s learning was remarkable. She introduced me to the educational games which she had just started to create. I tried these games with my son and noticed that I was able to retain his focus and attention a lot longer. My son and I found these games intriguing, fun and developing.

Bell, you have no idea how much these educational games have helped my son develop sound foundation in his early years. He has developed key skills such as social skill and cognitive skill which assist him in everyday life. Teaching my son through physical activities and games was the best way to engage his attention and for him to retain information and build his confidence - life changing "simple" little adjustments."

Our pre-K students at Jack in the Box School in Closter were thrilled to play with “B SmART ‘n play” games with Mrs. Bell Telem Goudsmit! The children followed the steps allowing them to reach each level until the game was done. Each time Mrs. Bell visited, the same game was used in totally different ways paying attention to the differences and similarities of shapes and sizes, colors and locations. The game allowed the children to learn basic math skills along with a variety of thought and movement activities, creativity and most of all, fun. The children were totally engaged and fascinated. I admire Bell’s endeavor and hard work in creating basic games that will benefit many children. We can’t wait until the next book is published!

This is a special book, with a rationale of astonishingly caliber, that introduces a new, fresh and different approach that integrates inquiry, arts and crafts, and movement and is suited for an era in which social skills are becoming a precious commodity, as are creativity and understanding of the variance that exists among learners and the learning environment.
The book teaches teachers and parents how to engage the child in a creative manner and in a positive atmosphere that suits his or her individual abilities. The games in the book are interesting, fun and easy to grasp, enabling parents to spend quality time with their children and encourage interaction between siblings, which is often lacking nowadays.

"I heard quite a bit about the workshops and the creative games. Registering my two sons to the workshop during the holidays' break was a good opportunity to check what everyone was talking about. On the first day, the children came home so happy. The excitement of their experience was remarkable. At the end of the workshop, we discovered together the qualities and uniqueness of these games.

Nowadays, children do not use their imagination too often and everything is so available and easy to get. We found in these games and in this amazing method, a source of infinite creativity and a wonderful experience for all ages. Even my youngest son found himself playing with the older kids, with games they created.

I, as a mother, was privileged to be exposed to a magical world of a genius game. Simplicity, on one hand, and complexity, on the other, especially creativity and imagination, that are so lacking nowadays.

The book "B SmART 'n PLAY" is a real treasure and the children are very excited to explore it more and more."

"Dear Bell,
Thanks for the lovely and enjoyable activity.
Two hours of unending creativity and thinking outside the box taught me how to connect with my child and enjoy it and not through conventional box games.
Your patience and personal attention to each child contributed to the ability of all children to integrate and enjoy themselves sometimes individually, and sometimes together as a group.
There is no doubt that this isn't only an experience that leaves you wanting to do it again, but it also teaches how to look at the small and banal things around us and see the potential that exists in them to become a game, which is all fun."

“Bell's workshops are fantastic and each workshop is different. Every workshop is enriching and contributes to the children's development in a spectacular way!! My kids are young (3 and 5) and they both had a fabulous time. Each of them gained different things from the workshop. Bell manages to adapt her workshops to a variety of ages and enables each child to experience and succeed according to his or her abilities.

With simple materials, the children succeed in creating such special things in Bell's workshops and they discover that not everything that glitters shine brighter and that they are capable of creating very special things with the power of their thought and the challenges that they face. Aside from the fact that Bell is especially creative, her ability to listen, her giving and her assistance throughout the workshops are unique and so the participants' enjoyment and pleasure are especially great.”
