A new series of challenging and fun card games for middle school students covering the important areas of social networking, anger, leadership, stress, conflict resolution, and resilience. Based on the popular card game 21, players learn key skills while they try to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. These games use six different "smart" sharks to deliver the skill sets in an effective way that middle schoolers can relate to. The scenario based cards represent the typical issues faced by middle school students on a daily basis. These games are a must have for middle-school aged children trying to deal with the demands of their peer group and challenges in school and after-school activities. Each game comes in a sturdy box with a deck of 52 cards, facilitator's guide, rules sheet, and a color foldout of the skills taught in the game.
Set includes one each of the following card games:
LEADERSHIP: It's NOT for Guppies
