Together we rise, Together we play! Sometimes a game is just a game. Other times it is a great opportunity to support youth developing social emotional skills! Take the boring out of social emotional development and make it fun by playing games. After playing the game, 3 simple questions set in the learning. The more youth practice these skills through games, the more success your program will have. This helping youth develop social emotional skills, is for many of us, the why we do what we do. Add playing games as another tool to preparing youth for tomorrow. Together we rise by communally working on developing skills. Together we rise by discussing how we are growing our social emotional skills!
