hello!
Do you know if there are social games(in a computer) to learn kinds how to change their behaviour? I am interesting in using social games for change in a prescool classroom(5years old). Thank you very much.

Hi EvI,
Instead of using computer games how about you try something else more practical instead to develop children's social skills. You could try putting out some simple board games for children to participate in (Connect 4, Bingo, Mouse Trap, Uno, Memory, etc), setting up a puppet theater for role playing which will enable the children to work together, getting the children to participate in group games both indoor and out (such as captain ball, cat and mouse, parachute games etc), you could also set up a home corner with different themes (restaurant, cafe, cooking, etc). These are some ideas that you can use.
I think the best way to support social behavior is to enable the children to practice their social skills within the setting with peers and with teachers.
What do you think?
