Games provide children with a safe and nurturing environment to explore and practice their emotions, allowing them to develop essential social and emotional skills. Through thoughtful guidance and engagement in games, children can effectively manage their emotions, cultivate a broader perspective, demonstrate empathy and compassion, and exhibit prosocial behaviors.

Recent research has highlighted the teachability of these competencies, commonly referred to as social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. In his book, Gaming SEL: Games as Transformational to Social and Emotional Learning, Matthew Farber delves into the vast potential of games to support the development of SEL skills.

Experts from various fields, including education, game development, and SEL, contribute their insights to this comprehensive resource. They include representatives from organizations such as CASEL, the Fred Rogers Center, Greater Good in Education, iThrive Games, Minecraft Education, and UNESCO MGIEP.

While games themselves cannot solely be responsible for children's learning, having a supportive educator or caregiver who guides their experiences can be crucial. This book offers valuable recommendations for integrating games into classrooms in ways that foster meaningful SEL skill development. Regardless of your background, content area, or grade level, this book is designed to provide valuable insights and strategies for incorporating games into your teaching practice.
