Boardgames & Mindset

What if we taught children that failure isn't an end, but a beginning?

In this program, we use playful assignments and board games to work on something that often remains invisible: mindset and coping with fear of failure. We take cognitively gifted children on a journey through Kanikaland and Groeitopia , where they learn to plan, collaborate, and develop resilience.

What do we practice along the way?

• Growth mindset and coping with failure
• Executive functions such as planning, persevering, and reflecting,...
• Collaborate and communicate

Who is this course suitable for?

• Cognitively strong children
• Children who need enrichment and want to collaborate with developmentally similar children
