Cadoo is an exceptionally fun game that can be used to develop social skills, following directions and creativity. Players take turns choosing from solo (individual activity) or combo (cooperative activity) cards which instruct them to act out, sketch, or sculpt from clay for other players to guess the “secret” word on their card. A unique tic-tac-toe style board is used for scoring where a correct guess earns a chip and the first person to get four chips in a row wins. This game is a great way for children to practice following a variety of different types of instructions in an engaging way. For example, one Solo card has instructions to "Find something made of wood," and if the player can find something before the timer runs out, he earns a chip. With good adult supervision and support this game can be a great way to help children work cooperatively or overcome shyness. All students will benefit from being flexible and following varied directions.
