Social, Emotions & Feelings Games For Kids
When playing games we can encourage children to express their feelings and learn new skills.
When children play games they learn how to cope with different emotions and handle situations differently.
There's many different options now for children to play therapeutic games while they have fun with their family and friends.
Games will give children an opportunity to talk about their feelings, their lives, different situations, talk about things that bother them or upset them. They learn valueable communication and social skills while playing.
Therapeutic games can help children who are struggling with anxiety, feelings, attitude, patience, emotions, communication, self esteem and confidence.
The "Speaking Cards" kit contains 36 cards that display children experiencing some of the diverse situations and feelings a child may encounter in their day-to-day lives.
The cards are drawn in basic clean lines and are deliberately adapted to resonate with the way in which children see the world.
By playing with the cards and talking about them, you can encourage the child to express the feelings and thoughts that they are carrying in their heart, whether as part of their everyday life or in times of transition, turning points or crises.
Using the cards to talk about feelings will help the child to better handle their life events and cope with difficult emotions. These cards will help you to understand the child’s emotional world from their perspective, and relate to the problems that are bothering them.
In the instructions, there are some suggestions for operating, promoting and encouraging the expressive process. Educators and therapists can also use the assistance of the cards while working with parents.
