Goat Thing of the Day: The Goat Game and Eco-Goats

Hello, and welcome to Goat Thing of the Day, a weekly series that tosses, crosses and spaghetti sauces.

A Goat Game!

Have you ever heard of the Goat Game?

It’s one of those juxtapositional things that sounds like something for kids, but it’s meant for adults who have a history of bad relationships, even abusive ones. It’s intended as a playful and fun method of connecting with others while developing positive dating and relationship skills and guidelines. Some of the issues that are addressed in the game are:

  • Flirting without coming on like a tease.
  • Interacting with the opposite sex in a confident manner.
  • Recognizing dysfunctional patterns.
  • Attracting healthier relationships.
  • Enjoying being single rather than feeling desperate to find a partner.
  • Identifying our own baggage.
  • Maintaining healthy boundaries.

Peggy Kligman, the designer of the game was inspired to create it after going through some rough stuff herself. Now she’s helping people and I applaud her for it. Here she is, hanging out with some goaty friends.

    Okay I did the quiz and got it wrong a few times which made me feel inadequate but I eventually won. All I will say is… sometimes revenge works, even if the quiz doesn’t think so.

    Can you program the eco-goat to back off the azaleas?

    Margaret, Peggy Kligman of The Goat Game design is my childhood best friend. She was out walking in the Upper Valley of El Paso’s Rio Grande Valley during one of her darkest periods, and what did she see? A field of GOATS behaving in their own sociology, as if they were human. She watched and watched and came up with this game ascribing goat behavior to the good and bad of human relationships. Make a bad move? INTO THE GOAT PEN! (the equivalent of go directly to jail, do not pass go). Thank you for putting The Goat Game in the blog. You should try playing! Elaine Corn
