Growth mindset gets oversold in education. The version I teach in classroom guidance is grounded: effort and strategy matter, fixed thinking is a habit you can change, and persistence is a skill, not a personality. The game in this resource is the part that makes the concept stick for kids who tune out the moment they hear "your brain is a muscle" for the third time.
Made for school counselors running classroom guidance or small groups.
