THE 15 BOARDGAMES
The Boardgames are designed to teach a range of social and emotional skills to children and young people aged between 5 and 16. The content and design of the games progress in complexity from early social skills like saying thank you and waiting your turn to more advanced social and emotional themes like anxiety and character building.
A set of 8 Reflection Sheets (view here) have been designed to be given to the players to reinforce the main teaching points of specific games.
