For some kids, small talk is a big deal. Whether they're shy, self-conscious, or experiencing the social and communication difficulties associated with Asperger's Syndrome, these kids are stumped when it comes to conversing comfortably with another person. Mumble Jumble gives children and teens a chance to "practice" conversation in a safe, structured, and often hilarious way.

Additional Information
Working in teams, players attempt to create logical conversations from sets of unordered sentences (dialogue strips). The first team to come up with a sensible dialogue must then discuss it, explaining the mood of the conversation and what feelings are being expressed. Detailed rules and a pad of scrambled conversations to use as follow-up homework are included.
