WHAT COUNSELORS ARE SAYING
"This is such an easy way to create a low-stress, yet productive counseling session! I used this with a Jenga set that I had and it has been great with individual students and groups of students. This gamified approach takes the pressure off of shy students or those who are hesitant to open up to the counselor and lets you build rapport in a fun way while also stimulating conversations about social emotional topics. It's great that you can mix and match low risk with high risk topics (favorites and negative feelings). So glad I bought this and can't wait to buy another game to use it with!"
"I love how this resource is so versatile! I love playing games with my students, and this is a great way to incorporate more intentional counseling with them. So much fun and so easy to use!"
"This is my go to resource whenever I'm first meeting a student and want to keep it fun and comfortable. I love that the questions can be used for any game just by color coding. It's simple, easy to grab and use."
