    Our games are firmly grounded in research, ensuring a beneficial effect on children, and our co-design process with teachers, therapists, and children means that our games respond to the most urgent needs of teachers and the interests of students.

Games for social-emotional learning

The Tovertafel’s serious games are designed to empower teachers and therapists to foster social-emotional growth. By recreating everyday situations, children learn to navigate difficult social situations in a safe, supportive environment. From taking turns to working together, children practice essential life skills in a fun and engaging way that feels more like play than learning.
Beyond social-emotional development, our games challenge players cognitively and physically. Some promote language development or elementary mathematical skills, while others encourage movement and sensory exploration. With the Tovertafel, every child learns and smiles as they play and grow together. Are you curious to see what games are available for the Inclusive Education space?

What are Tovertafel users saying?

  • Mariann
    Founder and Executive director – Jacob’s Ladder

    Our speech therapists had a child start naturally imitating words for the first time. They were completely mute or not talking. But because of the calming nature of Tovertafel, they started naming things.That was a life changing moment.”

  • Kelly
    Occupational therapist – Fred W. Hill School

    I had a little girl who liked to lay on her belly and play with the Pond game. She would come in really upset, and she would just lay on her belly and do that with her hand. And then she would look at me and get this big smile and sigh. I think that's such a huge success. It turned her day around, and that's amazing.

  • Mitch
    Child Life Specialist – Ryan House


    Before we got the Tovertafel, there weren't many options for activities other than watching TV or reading a book. Although those activities are perfectly fine, the kids already have access to them at home. The Tovertafel allows them to have a unique experience: they get to socialize with other kids.

  • Ethel
    Teacher ASV – St. Lodewijk


    They help each other, they are more patient towards each other. While playing with the Tovertafel, they learn skills that are different from those they learn in other play activities.

  • Maeghen
    Director of Educational Services – the Fresh Start School

    Witnessing two students who usually struggled with group activities come together and create a special moment through play was truly heartwarming.

  • Ingrid
    Team Lead - Bredeschool Dukendonck


    The most beautiful thing to see is that children with different abilities can play together.
