Play Reflect Connect – Build it and they will CONNECT – Computer games for kids by kids – Using our book of 12 proven lesson plans, FACES – Fun Activities to Connect Engage and Socially Succeed, we propose a presentation/inservice that includes theory and research information on non verbal communication and beginning perspective taking skills. FACES works with socially young children, ages preschool to 8th grade, on the recognition and portrayal of facial expressions, developing joint attention and beginning to understand perspective taking.

All seminar attendees receive a digital version of the FACES Deluxe Series which includes the book, FACES, and two computer games – What’s My Mood? and Memory Mood Mash-Up. Attendees will be shown how to customize the games with their children’s/student’s photo in the game. Imagine the impact on students’ social development when they’re better equipped to read and interpret the facial expression of their peers! The seminar will also include ideas for video self modeling and cross environmental carry over activities. The game and programs include data collection aimed at measuring individual student progress overall and by each emotion. Please visit our website – www.playreflectconnect.com for more information; watch the clip of the NJEA’s acclaimed Classroom Close Up show capturing the experience for an entire second grade in Medford, NJ; and take a game or two for a test drive. Warning: you could get hooked.
