Just Released in Print!

I'm thrilled to announce that Executive Functioning Games for Groups and Classes is now available in print for the first time!

While many of you have already explored and enjoyed the digital version, this newly released hard copy edition, published through IngramSpark, is now in full global distribution, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, independent bookstores, and libraries worldwide.

Designed with Purpose and Playfulness

Over the past year, I collaborated with a professional editor and designer to ensure this book is easy to follow and visually engaging. The final product features colorful silhouettes of groups in action, bringing the activities to life.

Each page is thoughtfully laid out to make for a seamless implementation for busy educators, coaches, and therapists.

Strengthen the Core Executive Functioning Skills

Executive functioning skills, such as working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation, and metacognition, support our ability to focus, plan, adapt, and follow through. These foundational skills are essential for learning, well-being, and life success.

This book offers a a collection of 29 group games that help learners strengthen:

• Sustained attention and focus
• Mental flexibility and working memory
• Initiation, motivation, and follow-through

Self-regulation and collaboration

• Emotional awareness and response control
• Reflective thinking and metacognitive growth

While many activities can be adapted for individual sessions, the true magic unfolds in group settings, where learners build community, practice communication, and experience the joy of collective growth.

A Resource for Educators, Therapists, and Coaches

This book is ideal for:

• Teachers seeking classroom-friendly brain-based activities
• School counselors and social-emotional learning facilitators
• Executive functioning coaches and therapists
• Group leaders in educational, enrichment, or therapeutic settings

Each game is low-prep, highly adaptable, and designed to turn important cognitive skills into playful, memorable experiences.

Inspired by Students

These games were inspired by my students, who taught me that executive functioning can, and should, be taught in lively, connective, and empowering ways. Through play, we not only strengthen cognitive skills but also cultivate confidence, connection, and community.

Thank you for supporting this journey. I’m beyond grateful to offer this book in print and can’t wait to hear how it transforms your groups and classrooms.
