Mental Health Games for Kids and Grown-Ups
Our mental health games help children practice coping, manage big feelings and build emotional resilience. These cozy story games pair smart tales with calming storytime, supporting wellbeing through play rather than drills, aligned with all five CASEL social emotional learning competencies.
Why Smart Tales Work
Unlike ordinary story books, these learning games use Teaching Stories, smart tales proven to develop flexible thinking and emotional intelligence. Children observe the patterns like a mirror. These mental health games build self-awareness and better choices.
Created by doctors, educators and neuroscientists, Truth & Tales turns screen time into storytime that develops how children think.
