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.
