Gaming Guild – Spring 2025

BUILD EXECUTIVE FUNCTION, SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING & COOPERATIVE SKILLS WITH ACTIVITIES INSPIRED BY POKEMON, MINECRAFT, ROBLOX, AND MORE!

For children ages 8 – 11 years

This is a project-based program, with a focus on a shared interest – gaming. Children will have the opportunity to work on skills related to executive functioning, self-regulation, social interaction, planning, and self-concept. Example projects may include: creating live-action games or obstacle courses inspired by various video games, creating new gaming-inspired characters, creating collaborative lego creations inspired by video games, etc. Working towards a shared interest and goal helps motivate children to form strong friendships as well as learn to navigate peer negotiation.

Goals include:

Peer perspective taking
Problem solving within a group context
Executive functioning skills related to planning, praxis, sequencing and organization
Tolerating challenges during project-based activities
Cooperative play, teamwork and peer negotiation

Children are expected to attend every session (barring illness), as the sessions build on each other and group dynamics are an important component. You will not be reimbursed for missed sessions. If you have any questions about the new Emerge Clubs changes or payment options, please refer to our FAQ!

If your child is not currently attending therapy sessions at Emerge, we will be in touch with you to set up a brief free screening to determine if this program is a good match for your child.
