Theme-based Social Groups
Board Games
We use games to help children develop self-awareness, manage emotional responses, build self-esteem, apply teamwork, improve self-control, resolve conflict, make thoughtful decisions, and promote empathy.
Legos
Kids develop social competence as they build with Legos! We use project-based activities to encourage friendship and collaboration, emotion regulation, a growth mindset, self-esteem, and mindfulness.
Yoga
We tap into the power of yoga, movement, and breathing to help children develop impulse control strategies and better regulate their emotions. Research shows that kinetic movement like yoga supports the development of decoding skills, fluency, vocabulary, syntactic and discourse knowledge, and metacognition. We use big body movements in the context of meaningful language production for a positive yoga group experience.
Improv
Improv can be a lot of fun and a great way to promote and build social competencies. We use collaborative improv games to help students build relationships, accept failure, and use flexible thinking to solve problems. Activities help build ideas, develop social awareness, improve active listening, boost empathy, explore emotions and practice expressive communication.
