Friends & Neighbors Peaceable Kingdom Matching Game
The Helping Game About Feelings and Emotions
#GMC9
Product Details
Introduce young children to the concepts of empathy and compassion with Friends & Neighbors: The Helping Game. Designed for ages 3 and up, this cooperative matching game encourages players to recognize emotions and offer help to characters in need. Through engaging gameplay and storytelling, children learn to identify feelings in others—the first step toward building emotional intelligence.
How to Play:
Players take turns drawing tokens from the Helping Bag, each depicting an item that can assist someone on the game board. If the token matches a need—like an umbrella for a girl caught in the rain—it's a successful match! The game also includes a storybook and parent guide to facilitate discussions about emotions and helping behaviors.
Benefits for Kids:
• Promotes Cooperative Play: Working together to help characters fosters teamwork and shared decision-making.
• Enhances Emotional Intelligence: Discussing scenarios and solutions builds vocabulary and emotional awareness.
• Accessible for Early Learners: Simple matching mechanics and visual cues make the game suitable for young children.
Included in the Box:
4 game boards, 14 tokens, 1 helping bag, 1 stop sign board, social and emotional intelligence parent guide and friends and neighbors story book.
