Communication Games for Getting Along Pack

Looking for group activities to foster cohesion among students? We have created the ultimate educational games pack where players can learn listening skills, conflict resolution, understanding boundaries, and cooperation skills. All these skills are extremely important for educational success, making the games an ideal school activity.

The Communication Games for Getting Along Pack includes:

The Power of Listening is an educational game that uses a movie theme to teach young people specific skills that will help them to become good listeners. Players learn six listening skills and four aspects of listening for verbal and non-verbal cues, such as tone of voice and body language. Players learn to focus on the feeling of the speaker as well as the content of what the speaker says

Conflict Busters is a cooperative educational game with a space travel theme. It is designed to teach important knowledge and skills for conflict resolution. Anger control skills are also included. Since the game is cooperative, rather than competitive, the students practice and learn cooperative skills as they participate in a space journey to Saturn, which is represented by a jigsaw puzzle in the centre of the board. Players earn puzzle pieces by answering questions about conflict resolution and complete their 'mission' when they have completed the puzzle. The game contains many examples of conflicts that could occur on a space voyage, but more importantly, are common in primary school.

Boundaries Baseball helps children understand and respect boundaries. Boundaries are essential for positive relationships with peers and adults; children who act out are often asking for the security of clear boundaries and the skills needed to respect them. Boundaries Baseball utilises a baseball diamond format as a visual reminder for not going out of bounds. As part of the action of the play, students will also have opportunities to toss a "ball" so that it stays within the boundaries of a "strike zone".

Join My Group is a highly effective educational game designed to teach important cooperative learning skills in a fun and engaging manner. Although the game is a simulation, the competition is real, and players are forced to make important decisions regarding the value of problem-solving suggestions. Students also experience the same frustrations experienced in real groups when fellow group members hinder the progress of the group. The game deals with both the problem solving and interpersonal aspects of participating in cooperative learning and other groups.
