FA16: Project 5- Week 11

For this week I used the same group of children for the same game and I noticed a difference in behavior. The children seemed a lot more comfortable and even those that had social anxiety and didn’t like socializing were talking to their other peers more than the first time they met.

The main objective of the game is to be more comfortable with socializing and realizing its okay to express yourself. Many kids with social anxiety may feel like they’ll be judged by others so they stay to themselves, this game breaks that idea from their thoughts. The game taught the students how to be more social with their peers, which can also help in the future
