Games for children who need a little extra support

We help schools improve learning behaviours and communication skills through simple, TA‑led games that require no training, no planning, and no worksheets. Our games give SENCOs back time while delivering measurable impact for children.

Why do Games Work?

Play‑based approaches are widely recognised for helping children:

  • relax and open up

  • explore ideas safely

  • practise social skills in real time

  • learn through interaction rather than instruction

Our games improve children’s readiness to learn — which directly impacts classroom engagement, behaviour, and attendance.

Teachers and therapists know that children need good social communication skills to interact at playtime and learn with others in the classroom. A lack of these skills causes problems in so many other areas of life.

Don't just take our word for it.  Here's what others have said:

If I was still head of the autistic department, I would be asking my speech and language therapist to come in and do it (the Race to your Rocket game) as part of social skills work.

….if you've got a child who's maybe newer to the school, or who doesn't yet have that trusted relationship, with the ELSA or the person who's doing the intervention... it's going to build that trust and rapport quite quickly and build that relationship. So I think that would work really well.

Fun and thought provoking. An easy to follow game that's perfect at prompting the children to ask questions and create conversations.

The variety of questions… you don’t know what type you’re going to get or how you’ll respond. It keeps them engaged — excited about what’s next. It’s a real hook.

This is the best game we've seen all day!

Comments from Race to Your Rocket Playtesters at Norwich Games Festival May 2025

[This game] would be great for the ELSA to help [child's name] when he gets pulled out of class, rather than him just watching a video.
