**New to Outschool? Use our coupon for a $20 discount! ARILearnin20 ** Hi! Welcome to our Garticphone class! We run this game alot in our teen social groups and we thought, well why not have a class dedicated to playing it? Garticphone is a browser based game that the leader starts and then puts the link to the game in the chat. Once clicked on, you select your name and avatar, and come on in. This game requires a little bit of typing but don't worry about spelling. Drawing is with your mouse or touchscreen and it is not meant to be a masterpiece. In fact, the sillier the better. As this is a social group that is learner led with no curriculum, videos will not be shared with families to protect learner privacy. We are ESL Friendly, CEFR Level B and C. This group is trauma informed. That means we don't play around with potentially traumatic topics including murder and violence. All topics are welcome for discussion but trauma will not be our party theme. This includes murder mystery games. Thanks for understanding this effort to provide a safe space (in a short time) for all. Autism, ADHD, Neuro friendly hangouts.

Carly has been running inclusive and supportive social groups for kids for over 10 years. With her Bachelor's of Child and Youth Care, with early childhood education specialization from the University of Victoria, she has years of experience coaching the anatomy of conversation and is constantly learning about humans.

Yvonne is a musician with a BMus from McGill University who has been leading social groups on Outschool with Carly since August 2022. Linda is a talented art instructor and has been facilitating group learning for many years. Amy has been running social groups on OS this year and has her Bachelor's of Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria. We believe in inclusive social groups were we get the chance to interact and learn more about each other.
We are cool with awkward moments and silence. Growth happens in discomfort. We leave space for connection. We do make sure everyone gets a turn to speak, keep things safe, and as much as possible, we try to stay out of the way.
This is a learner driven class. They are getting to know new people. We are curious about the subjects learners bring up in class that we don't know about, but we know enough to back off if the group is connecting over something that we've never heard of. They aren't here for another adult perspective.
We see their strengths. Every person has value to offer and we are passionate about making an open space for learners to share and connect.
