Description:

Squash It! is a hands-on social emotional learning game designed to help children explore and understand a wide range of feelings and situations. The set includes 10 soft, squishable animal characters—each individually wrapped—plus 10 character description cards and 42 situation cards covering important emotional topics.

The 42 Situation Cards guide players through scenarios related to worry, anger, fear, coping, conflict, friendship, grief and loss, empathy, frustration, sadness, self-esteem, resiliency, peer pressure, and impulse control.

This game encourages meaningful conversations and helps children develop emotional intelligence in a playful, tactile way. It can be adapted for individual or group play, making it a versatile resource for classrooms, therapists, and families.

How mental health professionals can use Squash It!

Therapists and counselors can use the game to engage children in discussing emotions and social challenges in a non-threatening way. The squishable characters add a comforting, sensory element that can help kids open up, while the situation cards provide structured prompts for exploring feelings and coping strategies.

I was missing the card deck but PTS quickly sent me one in the mail! Thank you.
The squishy characters are much smaller than I thought they would be, but I think the game is still very cute. I have yet to use it.

This is meant for younger clients but it is difficult to keep them engaged while playing this. I can get the older clients to play this game under the quite that it is a brand new game and I need practice playing this so I am able utilize with younger clients.
