Joshua Center Board Games

Changing Children’s Lives
One Game at a Time

The Joshua Center began offering Social Skills in 2007 after a large number of parents requested we offer them. We started out with two classes and now have over 10 at the Joshua Center. We recently expanded to other areas of the community. As our kids progressed to high school we started Life Skills classes for students in 9th—12th grades.

We soon realized that board games helped the kids in many ways: taking turns, winning and losing, sharing, communication, etc. We spent a great deal of time and money researching and purchasing board games only to be disappointed every time. So in 2008 we started designing our own. All of our situation cards are from real life experiences of the students we have been working with over the past few years. The students are the best teachers in the world. All games were designed with a specific social skill objective geared to their students’ interests.

The Joshua Center board games are sold in pairs: two 20” x 20” pre-determined compatible games back-to-back. All supplies included.

Latest Endorsement

Becky,

The games are great. So glad to have them. I have shown them to two other counselors, and they agree the situations on the cards are fitting for high school. I will be using them with students who need some social skills help. Thanks for being such a great resource in our community. My daughter and I played them over the weekend and she enjoyed them.

Update: I have decided to buy some more because I really like the first set we bought!
