Putting Words to Work® is an
educational board game designed to teach important communication skills to
students in grades 8 and up. Players learn vital communication skills as
they help Olin, the star of a new TV series, succeed on the job. Players
help Olin handle problems with bosses, co-workers, and customers. Since
the story line in the game takes place in a work setting, the game is an
ideal school-to-career educational experience.
Communication skills are of great value
to students not only in work settings, but also with friends, family, and
in all interpersonal situations. The game covers situations such as how to
disagree with a supervisor in an assertive yet respectful way, how to
criticize without lowering other’s self-esteem, how to show empathy, and
how to be persuasive by effectively using facts. |
