Revised Edition for Teens","description":"\u003cp\u003eMotivate teens to explore with their peers how we each engage in social interpretations of others’ actions and reactions based on “hidden” group expectations. Use this highly engaging game to stimulate peer-based discussions regarding a wide array of teen-friendly social situations that engage students in social problem solving. With this revised teen edition, teachers, clinicians, parents, caregivers, and other interventionists encourage students to move away from talking about how they feel based on how others behave. Instead, they explore how the power of their own social interpretations might impact their actions and reactions if they find themselves in a similar situation. This fun card game fosters authentic discussions about social problem solving for responsible decision making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the game is to encourage discussion about each player’s perception and interpretation of the actions and reactions described on the Prompt cards. The new Social Interpretation Scale helps players determine and vote on how they perceive another’s choice of actions and reactions will affect how they think and feel. Extra Challenge cards provide players with an opportunity to also share how they might personally participate in different situations within the social world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShould I? or Shouldn’t I?

For kids of developmental ages 12-18, this game makes thinking and talking about social interpretation of actions and reactions fun and allows players to explore their own thoughts, perspectives, problem solving, and response choices within a safe and consequence-free environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s different about this revised teen edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is largely identical to the original edition released in 2013, with these exceptions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost significant update—the Behavior Scale is significantly revised and renamed the \u003cstrong\u003eSocial Interpretation Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Players score points when their rating is in alignment with most other players.
