Heartbeats Board Game for Teens
By Kendra Lince Davis, M.A.

The game encourages appropriate expression of feelings and development of empathy. It emphasizes the nourishing influence of animals and their capacity to change children’s lives. The game has an expansive breadth, addressing peer pressure, self-doubt, compassion, coping, and dealing with authority. Included with the game are 30 blank cards and card creation guidelines that allow you and your group to customize the game in ways that ensure player interest and participation. Based on decades of work with disadvantaged youth in low-income communities.

For ages 10-18, 4-6 players.
