The Interoception boardgame is an engaging, printable activity designed to help young people explore and understand their body’s internal signals through discussion, reflection, and hands-on challenges. Players move around the game board, complete sensory activities, and respond to prompts that encourage greater awareness of body sensations, emotions, and self-regulation.
