Role-play your way to better understanding of personal space!


By Sandra Singer, Ph.D., Lois Feigenbaum, LCSW, and Claudia Weiss, LCSW


Many kids, especially those with ADHD, autism, or Aspergers, are unaware of the socially accepted physical boundaries that most of us take for granted. This game helps them learn whats too close, too far, or just right in various social situations. Children take turns performing social scenarios described on Role Play Cards, and then the group decides whether their proximity to each other is appropriate for the particular situation. Players learn that standing too close or too far away can make people feel uncomfortable or confused in certain circumstances. Focused and fun, this game is a gentle way to help kids grasp the idea of personal space and thereby improve their relationships. For 4 to 8 players or teams, with a teacher or therapist.

I was skeptical a board game could teach spatial awareness, but the role-play scenarios really got my kids thinking about personal space without feeling lectured. It’s helped our son with ADHD notice when he’s standing too close, and the cards feel natural to talk through.

Our family game nights have completely changed since this arrived - my son with ADHD finally gets to practice reading body language and personal space without feeling like it's a lecture. The role-play scenarios are clever, and the fact it was created by actual therapists shows in how naturally the
