To progress within the game, kids have to display different emotions as specified in the game.<\/p>\n<p>This helps them learn how to express their feelings.<\/p>\n<p>The game can be played between kids and teachers or between a child and a parent.<\/p>\n<p>The set includes 24 counters, a die and a spinner.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we love it:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Great for emotional development in autistic children.<\/li>\n<li>Helps autistic kids interact better with other people.<\/li>\n<li>Quality pieces that will last long without breaking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3.\u00a0<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"9659256167\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/9659256167?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Playing CBT Board Game<\/a><\/h3>\n<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"9659256167\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/9659256167?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image aligncenter\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstoysclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/51tLAc9VxDL.jpg\" width=\"406\" \/><\/a>\n<p>This one\u2019s a bit pricey but it\u2019s also much more expansive. In fact, it\u2019s designed as a therapy game to help autistic kids improve their social skills, self-control and emotional development.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ideal for children (6 years and up) as well as adolescents. You can opt for the beginner or advanced game board depending on the age of the child.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what the game includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emotion board<\/li>\n<li>Physical sensation board<\/li>\n<li>8 sets of cards including event cards, destructive thoughts cards, emotion cards and physical sensation cards.<\/li>\n<li>A thinking trap ruler<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The game deals with almost all kinds of emotions that kids often encounter. By encouraging them to think and talk, the game helps them learn how to cope with different emotions.<\/p>\n<p>It is also useful in behavioural therapy where children learn how to interact with other people in a healthy manner.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we love it:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Very versatile \u2013 offers all-round help in many areas from emotions to physical sensations.<\/li>\n<li>Helps kids socialize with other people at home, in school and in the community.<\/li>\n<li>Great for emotional development.<\/li>\n<li>An effective and safe way to help kids talk about their feelings and experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4.\u00a0<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B075K7C5KG\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B075K7C5KG?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">It\u2019s All About You<\/a><\/h3>\n<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B075K7C5KG\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B075K7C5KG?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image aligncenter\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstoysclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41DI4RTz2JL.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<p>If you are looking for a cheaper and simpler game than the CBT one, this is a great choice.<\/p>\n<p>The game focuses on helping children (and adults) talk about themselves. The rules are very simple.<\/p>\n<p>When it is your turn, you ask a question about yourself and everyone else guesses the correct answer. The one with the most correct guesses at the end of the game wins.<\/p>\n<p>The game doesn\u2019t focus on specific skills or emotions. It\u2019s simply a great way to get everyone relaxed and talking.<\/p>\n<p>Autistic kids get the chance to talk about themselves and interact with friends or family members. This can help them become more confident when socializing with other people.<\/p>\n<p>The seller recommends the game for players 12 years and above.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we love it:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A fun family activity.<\/li>\n<li>Helps autistic kids improve their self-confidence and socialization skills.<\/li>\n<li>Simple and easy to play yet lots of fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>5.\u00a0<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B0006HBERA\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B0006HBERA?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Orchard Toys Bus Stop Game<\/a><\/h3>\n<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B0006HBERA\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"ktc07-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B0006HBERA?tag=ktc07-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"easyazon-image aligncenter\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstoysclub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/61Ha8w3t3jL.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<p>If your autistic child is good with numbers, this is a great board game. If they are not so good, the game will help them get better.<\/p>\n<p>It is a simple counting, addition and subtraction game.<\/p>\n<p>The main part of the game involves spinning a spinner to add or remove passengers from a bus. The player with the most passengers by the time the bus gets to the bus station is the winner.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not all numbers. You can also have fun asking kids to identify different kinds of passengers \u2013 the ones wearing a hat, the one with a moustache and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The set includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A thick and durable playing board<\/li>\n<li>4 buses (flat boards)<\/li>\n<li>4 bus counters<\/li>\n<li>4 stands<\/li>\n<li>40 passenger cards.<\/li>\n<li>1 dice, spinner board and spinner arrow plus an instruction leaflet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The game is ideal for ages 4 to 8 and can be played by 2 to 4 players.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we love it:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Quality board and pieces that will last for years.<\/li>\n<li>Teaches kids basic math skills as well as turn taking.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of fun for the whole family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How We Picked the Best Board Games<\/h2>\n<p>We looked for board games that benefit autistic children in many different ways including emotional development, socialization and coping skills.<\/p>\n<p>We preferred board games that encourage children to speak up because that\u2019s often the best way to learn and communicate.<\/p>\n<p>All the board games we picked involve a lot of communication that teaches kids to express their emotions and learn proper behaviour especially when it comes to interacting with other people.<\/p>\n<p>The interactive nature of these board games is also great for families who are looking for a fun way to spend time together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What to Consider When Buying a Board Game for an Autistic Child<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Growth and Development Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Look for board games that focus on specific aspects of the child\u2019s development such as emotional skills, coping mechanisms and self-confidence.<\/p>\n<p>These are the ones that will benefit your child the most and complement any ongoing behavioural therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Different games focus on different areas. Some lean more towards self-confidence and self-control while others are more focused on things like friendship and empathy towards others.<\/p>\n<p>Pick the one that offers help in areas where your child struggles the most.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Additional Skills<\/h3>\n<p>Board games are not just about emotions and social interactions. They can also improve many other skills.<\/p>\n<p>Take the bus stop game we\u2019ve reviewed above for instance. It introduces kids to basic math skills in a simple and fun way.<\/p>\n<p>Other board games teach children about colours, others are based around wildlife and others are good for language development and turn taking.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your child\u2019s development and learning needs, you may need to buy a couple or more board games.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Age-appropriate<\/h3>\n<p>Pick a board game that is appropriate for your child\u2019s age. Check the manufacture\u2019s age range recommendation before buying.<\/p>\n<p>A board game that is too complex for your child will cause frustrations and won\u2019t help as much. A board game that is a bit too simple for them may feel boring.<\/p>\n<p>Note that most board games are not appropriate for children under three years mostly because of the small pieces.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Fun<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously, the game needs to be fun to play.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a game with fun twists and turns that will keep your child entertained even as they learn important life concepts.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Quality<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, make sure you get a good quality board game. The board and the pieces should be well made, safe and durable.<\/p>\n<p>A good quality board game can easily last for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For kids, a board game is much more than just for fun.
