The Friends Play Group is a social skills workshop designed for small groups of socially delayed children, ages 6-9 years old. Using drama, pretend play and role-playing, children actively participate in creating new skills that help them become better social thinkers.
Some of the skills taught are:
* friendly greetings and goodbyes
* self-calming strategies
* sharing
* losing the game and fair play
* flexible thinking
* team work and collaborative play
* asking a friend to play
* exploring feelings of shyness
* what is compassion and empathy
