This innovative new Skylight game - GETTING STRONGER - is ground breaking and addresses the needs of the most vulnerable groups of children in our communities. See the key issues and topics the game addresses listed below.

NEW!  BULLYING and MANAGING YOUR ANGER topic cards are now available!

GETTING STRONGER is one game board, with challenges and accessories, able to be played with different specialist topic sets to make it adaptable for a range of tough issues that children face. Designed for professionals and support workers who work alongside children 8-14 years. Buy the board, player pieces, great accessories and core game cards in a colourful box, then select and purchase separately the topic cards most relevant to play with it.

The first topics chosen for these ‘topic sets’ reflect requests from specialists around New Zealand seeking practical tools to genuinely help, encourage and support young people caught up in some very sensitive and difficult life situations. We have used the best expertise we possibly can to ensure their content is sound and safe and helpful to therapeutically engage with young people between 8 and 14 years on some of life’s most difficult challenges. For example, the first topic sets Skylight offers are for those 8-14 year olds, and are available at $10 per pack:

• NEW for those needing to learn to manage their anger better
• NEW for those affected by bullying - the bully or the bullied
• affected by a disaster (such as earthquake, floods, fire, explosion or storm)
• who have witnessed, or been impacted by, domestic violence

• with a family member with an addiction
• with a family member who has a mental illness
• with a family member who has a serious illness or injury
• who have had someone important to them die
