Talk About It! All-In-One Teen Communication Game Launches on Kickstarter April 11
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 07, 2017 -- Lindsay Smith, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Teen Therapy Center of Silicon Valley, has created the ultimate teen communication game. Talk About It! helps parents, therapists, educators, and others build strong relationships with teens in a fun, simple, and low-pressure way.
Development of the game will be funded by a Kickstarter campaign, which will run from April 11 – May 10. If the fundraising goal of $32,000 is met, campaign backers will receive a first-edition game for $39, including free shipping to individuals in the US. While supporters can pledge any dollar amount, funds will only be withdrawn if the funding goal is met.
“I wanted to create a game that would provide an easy way for parents, therapists, and educators to learn more about the teens in their lives. Teens often keep a lot of what is going on to themselves or share it just with their friends. Many times, when teens are asked a lot of questions they get annoyed and shut down. But now, Talk About It! asks the questions for you! It has the therapeutic component of great questions, it’s fun, and it has multiple games in one so that both teens and adults are continuously engaged,” explained Smith.
About the game
Talk About It! uses 8 topic decks and 2 dice to play 12 common card and dice games with a twist. Games such as Go Fish, War, Golf, and Knock Out can be played while talking about topics such as values, stress, family, and friendships. Communication is fostered when participants answer questions on the cards while playing the games.
Participants can choose from topics including Icebreakers, Values, Family, Friendships, Self-Esteem, Stress, Feelings, and Situations.
Games include:
• Common card games: Go Fish, War, Crazy 8s, Old Maid, Golf
• New card games: Simple Questions, Guess the Feeling, Feelings
• Common dice games: Knock Out, Chicago, Pig
• New dice game: Roll N’ Talk
Talk About It! can be used during family game nights, at the dinner table, in therapy sessions, classrooms, group meetings, and more. Because there are so many different games to play, teens, families and adults will enjoy playing this game again and again – finding out more and more about each other and what really matters in their lives every time they play.
