This unique and fun cooperative game expands the teachings of The Zones of Regulation curriculum. It introduces the concept of “The Zones Pathway” via a board game that encourages interaction by using a variety of card decks to explore social situations, emotions, and related regulation tools. This flexible teaching tool is non-competitive by design. Social learners collaborate as they practice problem solving how to navigate different social situations, a process required for emotional regulation. Note: Both interventionists and social learners should already be familiar with The Zones of Regulation concepts and vocabulary before playing this game. It is not designed to be a stand-alone social emotional teaching tool.
