Garybank Emotional Dart Social Skills Activities for Kids - W/56 Emotion Cards, Autism Learning Materials Emotional Regulation Tools - Occupational Therapy Must Haves Toys, School Counselor Gifts

I like the dart game because it requires physical activity to play. I believe that being active helps keep the brain more engaged, making kids learning social emotions easier. I also love these cards have lots of fun and the sticky balls and mats make playing easy and less dangerous for kids. In this game, kids learn valuable life lessons about dealing with their feelings when they are frustrated, angry, happy, etc. Overall, I recommend this game, whether you're a parent or a teacher, that would be fun

I use this in my therapy office - a big hit! Combine it with a discussion of the two Inside Out movies! All emotions are good; they are guides for our behavior (even anger and sadness; we just don't want to wallow in those types of emotions.)

This is a fun tool for working with kids, especially for ages 6-10. I anticipate some extra explaining and changing of the language used on the cards and dice will be needed to use for younger kids. I like that the cards provide practical coping skills along with each emotion. Nice selection of feeling cards to help children verbalize their emotions.

The actual game/activity is a little difficult to understand. But, you can make up whatever version you want. It is hard to sort through the cards to find the right one. But, it's good exposure to the words even if they are just throwing the balls at it.

This is a really fun game that I added to the waiting room in my office. Kids and adults both enjoy playing with it!
