Game Review: Baking up a Friendship
I recently bought this game on Teachers Pay Teachers and I love it! The creator took a lot of time to come up with creative ideas of how to help children learn communication and social skills. I have played this game with several clients, and they are asking for it.
If you purchase this game, be prepared to use some ink. There are TONS of cards and handouts that go along with the game. To save some ink, I printed the cards on "portrait" instead of "landscape" mode and I laminated everything so that I can use dry erase markers rather than printing handouts for each time I use it.
What I love about this game is that there are so many different aspects to it that you can play it again and again and not go over the same cards repetitively. I will also use aspects of this game in other counseling activities, such as the proper apology examples, the reflective listening script, and the script for honest communication. I enjoy having visuals when I work with kids, as I think it helps them remember the concepts better.
