often. Sometimes this can result in sassy back talk. I think
everyone can agree that sassiness does not make for pleasant listening.
Nor does it facilitate productive conflict resolution. How can back

Play the Secret Word Game
Play A Game - Fairy Tale
Chain
Play a chain game that connects familiar fairy tales
(nursery rhymes and favorite picture books can also be included). The
first player starts by naming a fairy tale.
The second player names another fairy tale that
relates to the one first named in some way or another.
- The Three Little Pigs (both have wolves)
The third player continues the chain.
- Hansel and Gretel (houses were damaged in this tale
and in The Three Little Pigs)
Your chain links can be as creative as you are!
Have fun!
