EQ Card Games for Children
Healthy Brains Create Hungry Minds And Happy Families
EQ2iQ is a unique social and emotional learning experience for families with children ages 3-14. We have researched the recommended stages of social-emotional learning for every child and incorporated them into our standard series of games. Our research-based scientific curriculum and neuro-gamification (adding game dynamics to brain science) techniques help children and families develop social-emotional health and performance. We use specialized educational games with seven levels that combine emotional vocabulary, cognitive thinking, and social skills.
EQ2iQ Game Series includes seven levels, each with seven outcomes to achieve before moving to the next level. These are great for all ages, from 3-year-olds to up. The concepts learned in the higher levels have been integrated into our specialty series—EQ2iQ Sports “neck up training” for athletes and Race to Empathy for diversity & inclusion training.
