TEENdiversophy

TEENdiversophy™️: Gen 2 is an engaging and fun learning game dedicated to help teens learn socially healthy ways to navigate the wide range of challenges USA high schools face in our increasingly diverse and complex world. Gen 1 was developed early in the millennium, written by high students and college interns who helped with field testing and editing.

Gen 2’s updated content supports teens’ learning and growth by playing together with school relevant topics. Students connect with each other by learning what they have in common and are enriched by what they discover about their differences.

TEENdiversophy™️: Gen 2 can also be played in your teacher/staff professional development and team building sessions.
After playing, extend learning: Create cards unique to your school culture. Want to make a significant impact? Send your topics or card content to TEENdiversophy.com to keep Gen 2 growing as a valuable resource for every high schools’ DEI initiatives.
