Roller Coaster of Life

This great game for adolescents addresses social skills. Easy to play—a player draws a card that asks questions, such as: “You just heard that your best friend said something mean about you to another friend. How do you feel? What should you do and say?” The player answers the questions as best he or she can, and the group may discuss the answers. Then the player moves his or her pawn down the roller coaster path. This delightful game includes 98 discussion questions covering social and pragmatic skills, such as turntaking in conversation, eye contact, changing topics, introducing people, ways to be polite, how to praise, nonverbal communication, and more.
