“The I Can Relate Game is great! It has been used in my room with a variety of students. It is especially important that my students learn about and practice a wide range of social situations. I used many different applications of the I Can Relate Game depending upon the needs of my students. It opened the door for lots of conversations about social situations, feelings and the concept of needs. I am working with a few students to monitor their expected and unexpected behaviors – what my students really need from their actions and how others feel in response. Using the game in a variety of ways helped students figure out social situations which was awesome!”

“The I Can Relate Game was used as a small group option during Peer Ministry training. The specific topic was, “understanding a friend.” Everyone who tried the game loved it! Children and youth often have a hard time finding words to describe their feelings much less needs. This game gave them an opportunity to voice feelings and needs using situations that are relevant and applicable to their lives. It not only taught youth listening skills, but also encouraged them to tap into their emotions in order to name what they thought others would feel in a specific situation.”
