Improve social and academic success
The I Can Relate game and process help children and adults develop SEL skills. Players learn to connect feelings and needs with kind actions in a variety of situations.
Develop healthier and happier relationships
Learn empathy guessing, how to see the perspectives of others, how to respond rather than react, and problem-solving skills
Relieve emotional stress and increase well-being
Learn how to identify your feelings and needs, expand your emotional vocabulary, and develop mindfulness and sorting skills
The I Can Relate Game™ builds relationship skills that help people relate to others with empathy, understanding, and respect. By encouraging players to “put themselves in someone else’s shoes,” the I Can Relate Game teaches skills to become more self-aware, more mindful of feelings and needs, and to develop more empathy toward others and themselves. Children and adults practice the relationship skills of listening to stories and situations, naming feelings, identifying needs, and showing empathy and kindness — without being aware of the learning process.
