StoryGuider: Betti Takes a Sick Day

StoryGuider: Betti Takes a Sick Day starts with Betti all excited about a playdate with their new friends until... OH NO!  Betti wakes up with a cold!  Betti has to cancel and feels pretty rough about it.  Help Betti learn to deal with disappointment, learn how to practice self-care when sick, AND learn that their friends still care and can help, even if they aren't RIGHT there with Betti.

This game uses the StoryGuider system and is intended for ages 2-5.  It includes everything you need for describing different choices.  It also has color-able pictures to go along with the story and to be used for coloring breaks. 

This story focuses on practicing the following skills:

• Make choices between two options
• Point to pictures when they are named and/or naming pictures
• Give short answers (1-4 words)
• Play simple make-believe games
• Practice simple exercises
• Practice gross motor skills (jumping, stomping, etc)
• Practice fine motor skills (coloring, cutting, etc)
• Talk about disappointment
• Talk about gratitude
• Practice belly breathing

About the StoryGuider system:

StoryGuider is a system to help make simple stories with your kid(s) so they can get used to tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), decision-making, problem-solving, etc.

It focuses only on the RP side of TTRPGs (there are no dice or rule mechanics).  This is so kids can get used to playing as a character and changing the story without having to simultaneously worry about learning mechanics that they are not familiar with.  It is a stepping stone into playing more rules-based TTRPGs.

I hope this helps you to introduce TTRPGs to your kid(s) and that you have fun sharing a story and starting a hobby together!
