📌 Important Notes:

• Fast-paced games can be exciting, but they may also feel overwhelming for some children. Adapt the speed, tapping rules, group size, or movement requirements to support individual sensory, motor, and regulation needs.
• Offer cooperative play options and allow children to practice without competition when appropriate. The goal is to build skills through enjoyable participation, not require children to perform perfectly under pressure.
• 🎁 This is a growing bundle. Future games will be added at no additional cost to existing purchasers.
• This is a digital download. No physical product will be shipped. Due to the digital nature of this resource, all sales are final and refunds are not available.
