Teamwork & Social Skills (Using Minecraft in an Online Community)

We Help Your Child Achieve Their Goals

We have different goals for each child and team. We set goals depending on your child's abilities, and for community members who are on NDIS, we set goals that match NDIS objectives and we match goals to your child's unique personality.


 

How It Works

At each time slot, we will have about 5-6 students working together, with our leaders helping and guiding team-work negotiations.

Each week we have a different project that we work on together as a team (e.g. create a beach scene or a playground or a factory etc).

This is an online community for any child who is looking to build their social skills and teamwork skills.

 


Ages 7-10 & Ages 11-15

We have different session times, depending on your child's age group and Minecraft ability. We've deliberately designed these sessions so that your child can be part of a team, regardless of their age or ability. Really, Minecraft is a lot like Lego and often our older students help our younger ones. It is part of the teamwork mind-set.


 

Safety In Minecraft

This is safer than almost anywhere else your child could play Minecraft. That's because your child will work with two of our staff members who will make sure that everyone is using friendly voices and doing friendly things. Only children who we have let into the game can come and play in the team building area, so your child is safe from outsiders. Also we have clear guidelines and rules for our kids about how we speak to others,  treat each other's work and protect what each other have built.



Pricing $57.10 

60-minute session each week.

NDIS funding is generally available for self-managed and plan-managed NDIS plans

 

 

NDIS Funding Categories

For Minecraft Social Skills Online Community Group


Chat with your plan manager for what is relevant to your situation.

It is helpful to know that other families have told us they usually use these categories (or similar):

a) Increased Social & Community Participation

b) Improved Daily Living                                           


For plan-managed participants, your plan manager will be able to tell you whether your plan will cover this, as some plan-managed participants may have some out-of-pocket expenses. Most families are able to cover this without out-of-pockets.

Here’s How We Play


  • We will express our own opinions using kind words.
  • We listen when others have a different opinion.
  • We will always listen to our leaders who are here to help us.
  • We will try to not get cranky at people even if things happen that are unfair.
  • We compromise - Sometimes other people want us to build things differently to how we want to build things, and we will be okay with changing our minds.
  • If our leader tells us to go and get a drink of water, we will do that straight away because that is our chance to calm down.
  • We keep our camera on (in Zoom) so our leaders/teammates can see our faces to know if we are feeling okay.
  • We always use calm, kind and polite words and we have friendly faces.
  • We finish on time, even if we are only part way through building things.
