Launching 'How Are You?'

Helping children to learn about, understand and express their emotions can be a difficult task.

How Are You? - our new social skills game for special needs children, is being launched this weekend.

The topics it covers are:

• Social awareness


• Understanding and expressing feelings


• Relating to others


• Staying Calm
  
• Expressing pain when hurt


• Coping with bullying
  

There are many different sections of the game that teach using interactive images, sounds, voices and narration. There are also three fun games:

1. My Feelings Game - children explore and learn different emotions


2. What Should I do? Game - children answer questions about social rules


3. My Body Game - learn about different names for body parts

All our games are designed with and for special needs children with accessibility in mind. There is a large pointer, every screen is easy to navigate and you can go anywhere in the game with just one click.

Our games work on a home laptops and school whiteboards.

We pride ourselves in promoting learner independence and computer confidence too.

There is a pack of printable teaching resources with 'How Are You?' - come and play our games this Friday and Saturday (15th and 16th Oct) at our stand at the Irish Teaching and Learning Festival:

If you can't make the festival, a demo will be online next week on our site.
