Game “The Power of Smile”

About the project. The game includes templates of 12 different smiles with captions (happy, sad, kissing, confident, vampire smile, mocking, shy, caring…, etc.) that you can cut out, stick on a stick (tube, spoon), or bring to your face. The game’s creators also provide detailed comments in the instructions on the possibilities of leisure with “The Power of Smile” and various explanations about the very nature of smiling and stress.

Among the auxiliary elements of the game is a poster with a “circle of emotions” that can be printed and hung on the wall of a room or group in a kindergarten or classroom. This is to help children get used to self-knowledge and express their different emotions and states. And by the faces on the poster, they learned to recognize them in others.

Goal: To regain the ability to look at yourself or to withstand the gaze of others (if you play in a pair or group) and the possibility of contact and intimacy.

The game is available for free download and printing here.

“Smart Osvita” will also send printed games to schools in vulnerable areas of Ukraine. Please follow the link to register your school and receive the free games.

Partner: Educo Foundation.

Term: from November 2023.

Game for children and adults “Tell Me: the Power of Questions”

About the project. The “Tell Me: The Power of Questions” game contains 17 cards in seven sections covering different areas of life. In total – 119 questions. The main topics are imagination, relationships, physicality, and behavior, while the questions involve other channels of perception and the brain’s hemispheres. The game’s rules are simple: everyone takes turns taking out a card, reading a question, and answering. If one of the players also wants to give his answer and no one is against it, then he also shares his thoughts. You can play with children from 5 years old, and the number of participants is not limited.

Goal. The game is designed to help children feel closeness, to accept similar and different features of people. Since you can answer the questions alone, it gives an impetus to self-discovery and a sense of one’s resources.
