One of my professors insists that "All learning occurs in relationships," and that this is especially true for kids. During my first practicum, I started a play therapy program for children who had anxiety symptoms. I found this book to be really helpful.
Imaginary play can be really helpful for the 5-12 age group.

EDIT: I think this video is one of the first ones we were shown during that course. It's kind of like staying one step behind the child, letting them lead the way, instead of guiding them. You're narrating their story and allowing them to naturally play out what's in their head without too much adult interference. They're told what to do basically all the time and then during session with you they can show you some of what's going on.

I would suggest picking up Gary Landreth's book on play therapy. It is amazing and some amazing things can happen with the use of play therapy.
