Full Description

In the past two decades there has been increased focus on directly teaching and reinforcing social and emotional competence. The Game was designed to give counsellors and teachers another tool to teach social and emotional skills. Social and emotional competence refers to the capacity to recognize and manage emotions, solve problems effectively, and establish and maintain relationships with others.

It is these skills that serve to protect our children from a host of difficulties including behaviour problems, increased emotional distress, academic failure, delinquency, and substance abuse. This Game is a fun way to teach empathy, communication skills, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills, self-management, and responsible decision-making. It is easily integrated into existing programs. It can also be used in individual and small group therapy.

The cards are labelled with terms that will be familiar to most children: sharing feelings, getting along, caring, communication, and cooperating. As the game progresses players become increasingly familiar with what these concepts are and the importance and advantages of engaging in these kinds of behaviours.

The categories are broadly defined and overlap with each other. For example, Caring can involve such behaviours as being kind, sharing, and expressing a feeling appropriately.
