PLAYED FOR YOU

Sei stark. Sag Nein!

prevention of VIOLENCE towards CHILDREN

Violence towards children, danger for children - topics of this violence prevention game for all the family with the goal to sensitize children in a playful way for their interaction with strangers.

The game features three different kinds of cards: Red prevention cards, green „Show something“ cards and blue „Remember something“ cards. The cards are shuffled by the moderator and stacked; then you draw a card. If a red prevention card is drawn the moderator shows the picture and reads out the choice of answers given on the back of the card. The player/child chooses one of the possibilities, sometimes there are several correct answers; the child should give reasons for his choice of answer; one can add discussion, explain correct behavior and actions, etc. The gymnastic and movement exercises are meant to convey self-confidence and strength and the picture cards in the blue category of „Remember something“ are meant to induce and train exact observation and analyzing situations.

For correctly answered questions and correctly mastered exercises the child is given the card, which is worth one point; if more than one play you win in the end with most points.

This card game picks up one of the most important topics in relation to children; it conveys to children an awareness of potentially dangerous situations without frightening them and shows that it is okay to say NO whenever they dislike a situation or are not comfortable in a situation. The emphasis of the game is on prevention and exclusively on violence that could happen to children outside their home, potential violence elsewhere is not featured.
