Q: Sorry comes with four sets of four pawns in the colors red, blue, green, and yellow. Choose one color and take all four pawns. Then place all four pawns on the start space of the Sorry board. Take the Sorry cards and shuffle them a few times to get them mixed together. Make sure that all of the cards are facing in the same direction in the pile. Then, place the pile face down on the card spot of the board. There are 11 different types of cards in the deck and they all allow you to do slightly different things. The cards included in Sorry are: 1: You can move a pawn from the start or move forward 1 space. 2: You can move a pawn from the start or move forward 2 spaces. You must draw again. 3: Move forward 3 spaces. 4: Move backward 4 spaces. 5: Move forward 5 spaces. 7: Move forward 7 spaces or split between 2 pawns (e.g. 3 spaces for one pawn, 4 spaces for another). 8: Move forward 8 spaces. 10: Move forward 10 spaces or move backward 1 space. 11: Move forward 11 spaces or switch places with an opponent. If it is impossible to move forward 11 spaces, and there are no opponent pawns on the board, then you will have to switch places with your partner or forfeit your turn. 12: Move forward 12 spaces. Sorry!: You can save the card for later use, or you can use it to bump an opponent's pawn to the start. Choose someone to go first before you start the game. You can elect a person at random, have the youngest (or oldest) player go first, or start with the player who won the last game you played. The player to the left of the person who goes first will have the next turn and turns will keep going in a clockwise fashion for the rest of the game.
A: Choose your pawn color and place all of your pawns on the START space. Shuffle the cards and place them on the board. Decide who goes first.

Q: When in a conversation, do not look at your phone or glance around the room. Do not think about things like what you're going to do after work or eat for dinner that night. Direct your attention solely on the speaker. This will help you listen better, as you'll focus on what's being said. Keep your eyes on the speaker most of the time. If you find other thoughts creeping in, remind yourself to return to the present and listen. Eye contact shows you're paying attention. Meet the person's eyes as they talk. Eye contact conveys that you're paying attention and present. A lack of eye contact can come off as rude or disinterested. Electronic devices, like cell phones, can often demand our attention, especially if they make noise or give off notifications. Keep your phone in your purse or pocket when talking to someone so you're not tempted to look elsewhere. Eye contact can also let you know if you're boring someone else. If someone breaks eye contact while you're speaking, you may be talking too much. Pause and give the speaker a turn. Listening is not a passive act. While the speaker talks, it's your job to listen to what they're saying. Try to withhold judgment while you do so. Even if you disagree with what's being said, wait your turn to speak. Do not think about how you'll respond while the speaker is talking. It can help to try to picture what's being communicated. Create images in your mind that represent what the speaker is saying. You can also try to latch on to key words and phrases while the speaker talks. In any conversation, it will eventually be your turn to share. Before doing so, however, make it clear you were listening. Paraphrase in your own words what the speaker said and ask any questions you have. Do not repeat what the speaker said verbatim. Just rephrase your understanding of what they said. Also, keep in mind that active listening is meant to help you pay close attention to the speaker and let them know you are listening. Do not use active listening as a way to interject or make your opinions known. For example, say something like, "So, you're saying you are stressed about the upcoming office party." Then, follow up with a question. For example, say, "Where do you think this stress is coming from? Do you want to talk about that?" Make sure to be empathetic and non-judgmental as you listen to the speaker. You can express respect and validate their position without giving up your own position.
A:
Focus only on the speaker. Maintain eye contact. Think about what the speaker is saying. Clarify what the speaker is saying.
