Friends and Neighbors - The Helping Game

Friends and Neighbors is a matching game that focuses on emotions. Can players help a little girl who’s sad because she’s standing out in the rain or a boy who’s afraid of the dark? Reach into the Helping Bag and Pull out a token – can it help someone on the game board? If so, you’ve made a match and helped a friend! When children play Friends and Neighbors, they develop empathy and compassion. Talking about the feelings and needs of the characters helps children recognize feelings in others – the first step to building empathy.
