That's Wheely Good

That's Wheely Good! is a great game that provides plennty of opportunities for your children with SEN to address and dsicuss with their peers the things that make them anxious or trigger them.

Opportunities exist in the game for the SEN child to become aware of everything that is great about them too!

The idea behind this game is a double-edged sword that can both address bad thoughts and try to relieve them, while validating their feelings, but also reinforce good thoughts and therefore better equip your SEN children to tackle bad moments.

That's Wheely Good! can be a very flexible game where you can enhance the game's experience and focus with your own alterations to the game (see instruction booklet for suggestions). This serves to better personalize the game to your particular SEN child's needs.

BENEFITS

Anxiety/ triggers - The variety of cards means that some will address a wide range of issues, from sensory and social issues, to feeling overwhelmed and experiencing peer pressure. Other cards will ask children to share what bothers them, and here is where you might find triggers.

Self-esteem / positivity - Some cards will be asking children to recall all the positive things about themselves as well as others. Other cards will provide opportunities to discuss good deeds and their effect.

Empowerment/ aspirations/ motivation - Some cards will provide the opportunity to discuss big aspirations the SEN child may have, and in that process, provide insight as to what their perceived limitations are. Other cards put the SEN child in the shoes of a superhero. This too may shed light on their perceived limitations but also show what their good intentions would be if they felt able to do so.

Apart from this, the game also helps develop skills such as turn-taking, listening to others, appropriate social interaction, etc.
