📌 Important Notes:

This resource includes 10 board games covering five SEL topics, with two boards per topic. The games can be used with the 40 included scenario cards or with your own questions and discussion prompts.

Students may respond to social-emotional situations differently, and the activities can be used to explore multiple perspectives rather than require one specific response.

When discussing the size of a challenge, remember that the same situation may feel different to different students. The goal is to build awareness and explore helpful responses while validating students' emotional experiences.
