Breaking Barriers Down - Social Skills Games and Therapy Games, A Feelings Game for Kids That Develops Emotion Regulation and Explores Anger, Sadness, Fear and Joy

Great game for the whole family. Fun to play and helps the kids talk about their feelings and for parents who don’t know what questions to ask or how to get their kids to talk. This is awesome! We first played this game in therapy with my kids and they really loved it and it helped them get out feelings as well as talking on other subjects openly. It’s not very big. It comes with a tote bag so you don’t have to keep up with a broken box and worry about losing pieces. Great game with a great price! I would definitely recommend.

It has been fun for the kids to play. The drawstring bag is the worst part of it as the drawstring broke. It’s easy to learn to play and makes it easy to learn about emotions in therapy. It was a decent value for the money.

Great game for kids. I use this in groups and individually. Just pre check the items in case of anything and be sure you know your clients. It’s easy to use and straight forward.

As a therapist, I highly recommend this game. It’s great for kids and teens - especially for building social skills and building rapport. The size is perfect and it’s easy to play for all ages. My one critique is that the blocks are not all even, which lowers the quality of the game itself.

This game gets kiddos talking about their feelings and helps build rapport.

This set is great for use with kids/teenagers. This is geared specifically around emotions. I enjoyed using this to help kids in therapy get better insight into their emotions without having to ask questions directly. All kids I used this with have enjoyed getting to play a game while talking. The blocks appear to be made well but are not as sturdy as Jenga blocks. The blocks seem to be more of a plastic material.

I’m a mental health professional and my kiddos love this game!

I’ve used this is sessions with clients, great way to eliminate intimidation around being vulnerable. Questions aren’t too deep and personal, making it great for building rapport with a new client. Highly recommend for every therapist.

Breaking Barriers Down is a fun way of opening up communication between child & therapist. Please note that not all the cards are suitable for young children so you need to read over them first. The child will need to be able to communicate in some way to play this game.
