Each game presents 4 scenarios and children get to explore the "Wheel of Choice" and decide what is their best way to move through the presented challenge.

 

These two games teach strategies to understand feelings and how to deal with interpersonal problems and challenges in a productive manner.  These 2 games can be played in any order and simulate 4 scenarios each.  Children playing can explore the scenarios and learn about the "wheel of choice" options as they play.  Jewish wisdom is also assigned to each step on the "wheel of choice". These games were created for Irvine Hebrew Day School.  IHDS specializes in social emotional growth and positive discipline.  Tammy Keces, the Head of School is a a leader in bringing these methods to Jewish Day Schools and worked with Ji to build these games.

Options on the wheel of choice available to explore are:

  1. Say Stop
  2. Use a Bug and a Wish
  3. Count to 10
  4. Go to a Cool Off Spot
  5. Acknowledge and Ignore
