Do your middle-school students know how to relate to others as well as they know how to relate to their phones?

The I Can Relate game teaches 12- to 16-year-olds critical relationship skills of self-awareness, empathy, and respect.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has been shown to improve the academic performance and the overall well-being of students.

“Giving middle school students a process to sort their feelings and identify their deepest needs in any situation provides life-long skills to manage anxiety and skills to move forward in a new and healthier way.”

~ Dr. Beverly Lonsbury

“The I Can Relate Game is great!  It has been used in my room with a variety of students. It is especially important that my students learn about and practice a wide range of social situations.  I used many different applications of the I Can Relate Game depending upon the needs of my students.  It opened the door for lots of conversations about social situations, feelings and the concept of needs.  I am working with a few students to monitor their expected and unexpected behaviors – what my students really need from their actions and how others feel in response. Using the game in a variety of ways helped students figure out social situations which was awesome!”
