Why Games?

We at Family Values @ Work believe that playing games can lead to people seeing themselves as agents of change while creating joyful, memorable moments that inspire action. And honestly, joy is something we need more of in order to sustain our movement. With that in mind, we will be launching a new game every year.

Games can be powerful tools for change. They have the ability to bring people together from different backgrounds and experiences, and help them to see the world from a new perspective. Games can be used to challenge people’s assumptions about the world around them, creating new avenues to question the status quo. Games often require players to work together in order to succeed, fostering a sense of community and cooperation essential for creating a more just and equitable society.

“Care Holds Us All Together”: A Jigsaw Puzzle

Family Values @ Work presents “Care Holds Us All Together”, a new jigsaw puzzle featuring artwork by Kate Deciccio. With vibrant portraits of people caring for loved ones backed by the natural world that cares for us all, Kate’s illustration perfectly captures the connective power of caregiving.

Puzzles are an accessible way for people of all ages to play together. This puzzle’s attractive artwork and values-aligned messaging will promote conversation about what it means to care for each other and new visions of a future where we all can thrive.

The completed puzzle is 10″ x 12″ and 240 pieces. It arrives flat-packed in a cello bag for ease of shipping and sharing. A single copy costs $18.00 (shipping included). Bulk discounts are available for orders of 10 or more puzzles. A great gift for your staff or supporters!

Please contact jennifer@familyvaluesatwork.org to place an order or for more information.

 

Introducing: Born For Care

Our Born for Care Card Deck features beautiful illustrations from artist Rommy Torrico. Each face card details a different type of caregiving most of us will encounter in our lifetimes. Each non-face card features a line of text meant to either inform or inspire action. We designed our Born for Care card deck as a way to spend time with loved ones while learning more about the politics of care. We hope this card deck brings joy and helps players to think about their care life and how we can work together to win a future in which everyone can thrive.
