Is girl drama taking over your hallways, group chats and lunch tables? Our Queen Bee Effect digital game gives your students a fun, safe way to talk about cliques, social power, rumors and relational aggression before the next friendship blow-up.

Our game helps girls in grades 4-8 notice the quiet ways social power gets used, like leaving someone out, spreading rumors or controlling who sits where, and practice kinder, braver choices. It works well in small group counseling, friendship groups, lunch bunch, SEL lessons and whole-class discussions.

HOW IT WORKS

Students play in teams on an interactive game board. They pick a question tile, talk it through with their team, answer out loud, then click to check the answer. Correct answers earn points, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
