How Do You Play?

Kids GROK makes learning about feelings and needs fun, interactive, and age-appropriate.

Through simple games and playful conversations, children explore questions like:

• How am I feeling?
• What might I need?
• How might my friend be feeling?
• What can I do when I'm upset?
• How can we solve this problem together?

Younger children can start by identifying feelings and matching pictures, while older children can explore the needs behind emotions, practice perspective-taking, and discover ways to resolve conflicts.

With 22 games and activities, there are plenty of ways to play, learn, and grow together!
