Product Details
Too Close, Too Far, Just Right is a dynamic game designed to teach the concept of personal space. Developed by Sandra Singer, Ph.D., Lois Feigenbaum, LCSW, and Claudia Weiss, LCSW, this game helps players understand socially accepted physical boundaries through engaging social scenarios. Using an evidence-based method, the fun and interactive game helps students build CASEL skills in the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills. It is designed to be facilitated by a teacher or therapist.
As they play, players take turns performing scenes described on Role Play Cards, and the group evaluates whether their proximity to each other is appropriate for the situation—whether it's "too close," "too far," or "just right." By participating in these scenarios, children learn how standing at different distances can impact others' comfort levels and relationships.
