Animo
Animo is a board game that gives children a safe space to talk about their feelings and emotions.
Animo is an interactive board game for children that facilitates conversations between them and their parents or other care takers. It provides the children with a confined and safe space that makes it easier to reflect on and talk about feelings and difficult topics. It does that without giving them the feeling of being judged. It allows them to express themselves in a playful way.
It is a shared experience for families and school kids to make communicating their fears, their concerns but also their joy more seamless. It's a communication tool that lets the players get to know each other better on an emotional level.
Animo is to be played by the children and their parent(s) or other caretakers.
