PlayMENTO Emotional intelligence game for children and teenagers

PlayMENTO is a card game that allows children and teenagers to explore and get to know better their Emotions, Feelings and how they are expressed in the Body.

PlayMENTO is not just a game, there are SIX! Six games aimed at the emotional development of children and teenagers that bring together movement, feeling, thinking, behavior, and lots of fun.

PlayMENTO is a game that unites essential areas of Psychomotricity work: the Body that involves all our actions, movements, postures, relationships and also the Emotions that are expressed through the Body.

Helping children and adolescents to discover and be aware of their emotions and how they express themselves in the body is an essential tool for learning to identify them in themselves, to recognize them in everyday situations and to recognize them. them in others, developing their emotional intelligence.

How did PlayMENTO come about?

The games about emotions that I find in the market focus on the facial expression of each emotion, which as a Psychomotor Therapist, seemed insufficient to me because the whole body speaks when it comes to our emotions! For this reason, PlayMENTO contains:

- 30 illustrated cards with 15 Emotions, in female and male versions, represented in full body (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Love, Shame, Calm, Anxiety, Surprise, Annoyance, Frustration, Disgust, Courage, Gratitude, Guilt).

-10 Question Cards that allow you to deepen the participants' emotions, promoting reflection on situations in which they felt a certain emotion, how they feel it in themselves and in their body, how they resolve them… and much more!

It is a game that can be used by therapists, teachers, educators and parents who want to promote their children's emotional development in a fun way!

And still...

In addition to the 6 PlayMENTO games, you also have the opportunity to have 10 extra dynamics with the digital PlayMENTO+ add-on.

With PlayMENTO+ you will explore to the full the opportunities that PlayMENTO offers to work on the Emotional Intelligence and Body Awareness of children and adolescents.

About the author

I'm Sara Duarte, I'm a psychomotor therapist (Psychomotor Rehabilitation) and I'm passionate about my work that allows me to help children, teenagers and their families in what may be obstacles in their day-to-day. I work with children and adolescents with developmental problems, learning difficulties and difficulties in managing their emotions and regulating their behavior. And all this through the Body and Psychomotor intervention!

In addition to clinical work, I train parents, teachers, educators and other therapists in the area of psychomotor skills and child development. And now, I decided to create PlayMENTO, a game that responds to the need to develop the emotional intelligence and body awareness of the children and teenagers I work with, and so many others, in a fun and dynamic way!
