New Psycho-ed Activities: Stress Management for Teens, Self-Harm for Teens, Urge Surfing

July 3, 2025

We’ve added three new psychoeducational activities, each with companion worksheets to help supplement the learning:

• Urge Surfing: Teaches kids the DBT skill of "urge surfing", a powerful way to ride out strong impulses. It supports emotional regulation and builds self-control.
• Stress: Teen Edition: Helps teens recognize the signs of stress and practice healthy ways to manage it.
• Self-Harm: Teen Edition: Offers a compassionate, clear explanation of self-harm, why it happens, and how to find healthier ways to cope and seek support.
  

All three can be found under the Psycho-ed section in the Library.

New Auto-update feature

June 20, 2025

Hopscotch Play will now automatically update in the background as you navigate the platform. This ensures that you’re always using the most recent version of the platform and helps reduce bugs and delays, especially in 2-player mode. It’s still a good habit to refresh your page when you can, and remind your client to do the same.

Improved Audio Sync for 2-Player

June 20, 2025

We’ve made improvements to how audio sync works in 2-player mode. A few weeks ago, we introduced an extra pop-up to help fix sync issues on certain tablet devices, but that’s no longer needed. Now, audio will sync automatically through the same 2-player pop-up you’re already familiar with.
