How to turn dreams into reality: Dream It! Map It! Play It!

Because we believe everything is an adventure, and all good adventures start with a dream, in 2018, we published our evidence-based workbook Dream It! and matching website Dreamaplay to teach kids (and adults) how to dream and how to turn those dreams into reality using our easy 3-step formula: 1) Dream it! 2) Map it! 3) Play it! And, to do that we use traditional pencil-and-paper games and evidence-based activities that teach important concepts, and put them into action right away — because we all know that kids learn by doing — playing!

Dreamaplay has a bunch of free resources, including a facilitator’s guide and more downloadables for kids. It was over 4 years in the making and everything was tested in real-world classrooms.

There are a lot of people involved in this, but personally speaking, our new book and website is an extension of my bicycling adventures, and I really hope it inspires kids to live their own dreams whatever they may be.
