Is gossip, jealousy or friendship drama bubbling over with your girls? Our Stirring the Drama Pot digital game gives students a fun, safe way to talk about gossip, rumors, cliques and jealousy, and to see how small choices can either stir up drama or calm it down.

Our game helps girls in grades 5-7 recognize the behaviors that add fuel to friendship drama and practice kinder, more honest ways to handle conflict. 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.
