Parent Testimonials

"This game has shown each student the importance of teamwork and that all roles in a community are important and deserve respect. It shows students they are important as individuals as well." (3rd Grade Parent)

"I enjoyed taking part in The Play Real Game at my kids' school. I run my own company, so playing the role of a Kids' World, Inc. executive was natural. My kids were proud of me! It's great that schools are giving kids experiences like this." (4th Grade Parent)
