Creatures -- the card game... is Fun!

Creatures the card game could be used as a therapeutic tool for children.

I teach social skills and leisure education to children (boy and girls) between the ages of 7 to 12.

Here are some of the benefits that “Creatures – the Card Game” could do:

• a.) Help the child to learn new age-appropriate leisure skill (ability to play Creatures Card Game) that she (or he) can use to build social connections (i.e. make friends).
  



• b.) Help the child to practice needed social skills such as: taking turns, fair play, being patient for turn, using good sportsmanship, being friendly with others.
  



• c.) Allow the child to increase intellectual functioning. This game requires the child to think ahead, concentrate, and use math skills.

I’m sure that Recreational Therapists working in rehabilitation settings could teach adaptive techniques or help with fine motor skills. However, my background is in behavioral health.
