WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A BOARD GAME?

Most play therapists have at least 1 (or 10) board games in their playrooms.

And we know the difference between "just playing" and using a board game for therapy.
RIGHT??

But it's always nice to go back and think about board games again with a beginner's mindset.

Because, after playing Feelings Candy Land
1,004,392 times, sometimes we need some fresh ideas.

Have you heard of this one??
I WISH IT WORKED THAT WAY


BUT..... If coming up with cool new games like "Do my taxes" is your superpower, then I actually came across this job posting with HASBRO that might be right up your alley.

Recall a time that you were engaged in playing a board game with your parents, friends of clients.

Really think about ALL OF THE DETAILS of that experience.

What game were you playing? Who was there?  What stands out about this experience?

Spend five minutes recalling this memory and writing about it.
