SandboxEd:
Social-Emotional Storytelling

---

Perfect for kids who want to exercise their imaginations through casual gameplay, with an emphasis on character, confidence and meaningful friendships. Students enjoy the best of contemporary Role-Playing and narrative games that focus on exploration, communication, and community-building.

Whether students are interested in fantasy, sci-fi, emulating their favorite movies or better expressing themselves, we tailor the gameplay to put the story in their hands, building their creative muscles and developing leadership, teamwork and conflict resolution.

Learning Objectives:

• Strengthen self-efficacy and confidence
• Develop communication and community-building skills
• Discuss the structure of narrative and character arcs
• Demonstrate patience, sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork
