| Detailed Description |
Recent research strongly indicates that impulsive children have difficulty (1) learning from past mistakes, (2) reflecting on the potential consequences of their actions, and (3) inhibiting dominant responses (impulses) in order to initiate sub dominant responses (appropriate behavior).
The game uses the above remote control symbols to facilitate learning the skills. There are both competitive and cooperative versions for grades 1–5 and for grades 6–9. The two age groups have separate sets of cards. Learning Objectives - Players learn:
To anticipate consequences; To stop and think before acting; To strategize and plan ahead; To do a better job handling frustrations; To work together cooperatively; To improve problem solving skills; The value of impulse control. |
