Building The Pod - Companion Board Game

A playful, pod-based game that builds connection, confidence, and calm.

This gentle board game invites children to move, breathe, share, and learn together as part of a whale pod. Through Action Circles, players explore play and movement, skill-building, emotional awareness, and self-regulation in a way that feels safe, fun, and inclusive.

Designed to support social and emotional learning, the game encourages cooperation rather than competition. There is no single winner - success comes from staying connected, supporting one another, and taking part at a pace that feels right for each child.

Children are guided to try new movements, practice patience, ask for help, notice their bodies, and celebrate what makes themselves and others special. Adults play a supporting role, helping to guide actions when needed while allowing children to lead wherever possible.

Ideal for classrooms, homes, therapy settings, and small groups, this game creates space for meaningful moments, shared laughter, and quiet reflection - all through the language of play.

Best for:

• Early years and primary-aged children
• Group play, learning environments, and family time
• Supporting emotional regulation, cooperation, and confidence
