LIFEBALL

LIFEBALL - A unique new game format for learning life skills. 

DWJ108 Single User £34.00 (£39.95 inc. VAT)

LIFEBALL is a team social learning game based on a ball machine similar to the national lottery. Instead of numbers however, the LIFEBALL machine throws out balls in eight different colours. Each colour pertains to a different area of social behaviour such as `thinking skills`, `forward planning`, `emotions` or `relationship` and presents players with a behavioural dilemma relating to that social skill.

Professionals using the game can also customise the content to only include dilemmas relating to certain contexts of behaviour such as `bullying`, `offending` or `race and diversity`. Each dilemma has three choices and the outcome of each choice has an effect on four `Life Indexes` - `health`, `wealth`, `relationships` and `self-esteem`. When any life index sinks to zero that player loses a turn to recover and the winner is the first player to get all 4 indexes to 10. Just like life of course, players also have to cope with random unforeseen events which also have an effect on their life indexes. For example `your girlfriend goes on holiday and chucks you for a bloke from Bognor - lose 2 self-esteem points but gain 1 wealth point`.

LIFEBALL contains 8 social skills area, 8 behavioural topic areas per skill(64 dilemmas in all) and 20 random events. All text content is spoken and included on CD in Adobe Acrobat format.
