The Mission

The Mission is simple:

Help Teens to Develop Social Skills & Social Support

I have a passion for helping children and teens. I’m in the process of creating a book and a fun card game to help teens develop healthy and appropriate friendships and to help them to learn ways to feel happier.

 

 

The Book

I'm in the process of creating a book to help teens learn how to make more friends.

More information coming soon.

You can pre-order the game at Kickstarter.

Here is the cover of the book:

The Project

I’m creating a card game.

I teach social skills to children and thought a card game would be great. Participating in the card game would require children/ young teens to be patient for their turn, to use fairness, to follow game rules, to have good sportsmanship.

The game is called “Popularity.” Players must get the most popularity points in the game. Each card is worth positive popularity points or negative popularity points. Positive cards have traits like: humble, considerate, and assertive. Negative cards have traits like: selfish, arrogant, and rude.

There are also random question cards that prompt players to answer questions about social concepts.

There are five “Day Cards” that are not wroth points. Players discard them in a separate stack. These cards must be played in order. A Monday card must be played before a person can play a Tuesday card. Once the Friday card is played then all players must reveal their hand. The players with the most popularity points wins the game! Fun concept, right?
