Game Time is a social-learning curriculum that provides the “unwritten rules” of successful game play. Throughout the 12-week course, students will learn a total of 6 "rules". Game Time is taught in a small group setting through explicit instruction of beneficial scripts and strategies, paired with weekly game playing opportunities to practice and generalize learned skills. Targeted skills include but are not limited to: “why” we play games with others (spoiler, it is not to win!), the importance of reviewing the rules before you play, flexibility, taking turns, and sportsmanship. Families are provided with a weekly home extension of learned concepts, and scripts and strategies to practice at home.

Offered Saturday mornings for 12 weeks starting February 1 - May 10. Minimum number of participants required for group to run. Participants will be screened to ensure they can access the curriculum. Completion of the Unstuck and OnTarget! Program is recommended but not required.
