THE IDEA / BFF:Best Falafel Friends

Social interaction involves more than knowing what to say. It means waiting, sharing a task and responding to what another person is doing.

BFF gives two players a shared job: make falafel. Each has a different role, so completing an order means working together. The familiar activity creates repeated opportunities to practice turn-taking and cooperation.
