Area of Effect | 23: Why Planning Matters for Kids' D&D

from The Kids Table | Dungeons & Dragons for Kids and Families · host The Kids Table Games

Planning sessions, we love to hate them. But, in kids' DnD, do they actually have a distinct purpose? In this episode, Ryan & Allison chat about how planning sessions help kids develop important life skills such as executive function, verbal processing, and teamwork - and, what important role adults at the table fill to help. Welcome to Area of Effect, a podcast from the creators of The Kids Table, where we discuss how tabletop RPGs benefit kids and answer your questions about playing TTRPGs with the kids at your table! About us: When kids are at the table, everyone wins! Playing TTRPGs with kids helps develop critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, & confidence - while building connections around the table. That's why we offer an original, kid-inclusive Dungeons & Dragons show, advice for playing D&D with kids, and our own campaigns to help you play TTRPGs with the kids at your own table!
