What Is Engage?

We all know that children can find everyday challenges difficult as they learn to control their thoughts, feelings and bodies. It is through games that we learn many of the thinking doing and feeling skills (self-regulation skills) that help us to live happy, successful lives. This website gives you, as whānau, games to play that will help to teach your children those skills.

Our Manaiakalani Schools use the Engage games each day to help develop these skills, your children can play them at home too. The more practice children have at developing self-regulation skills the easier it becomes to transfer these skills to everyday situations. Explore the website to discover games that you can play at home with other family members and information about our Engage Programme.
