Clarenville, Jan. 2007 - Canadian Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Rayel has created another amazing game that encourages people to share their thoughts and feelings while having fun with family and friends.  

Actus Tale: Show and tell your way to amazing fun! is a delightful, fun-filled, interactive game designed to foster expression of thoughts and feelings in unpredictable life situations.

“People develop better relationships when they understand and convey what they think and feel with others,” says Dr. Rayel who is also an author, a game inventor, and a faculty member at MUN.

“Show the facial expression of a person about to sneeze.”
“Show how you will react when you see a partially bald person combing his hair.”
“What makes you happy and why do you feel that way?”

These are just some scenarios that players will face during the game. Amid lively interchanges and loads of laughter, players do their best to share their thoughts and to act out certain emotions or behaviors.

However, here’s the twist. Whatever players say or do, playmates will rate their performance and thus have the last say about their chances to win! In the end, players learn more about themselves and others after the game. In essence, everyone is a winner.

Dr. Rayel says, “Actus Tale is an educational game for the whole family. Learning comes easy when players share while having a good laugh.”

Aside from Actus Tale, Dr. Rayel is also the creator of games and products that are recipients of the prestigious Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award www.addingwisdomaward.com. These award-winning games include: the Oikos Game Series (emotional intelligence board games), Fikloo (the game of crazy commands) and Wordigy (a challenging word game). Last year, he wrote the award-winning A 31-Day Series (Success Principles and Positive Affirmations for Kids and Teens).

In 2004, Dr. Rayel and his wife, Dr. Gayzelle Meneses-Rayel, co-founded Oikos Global — the maker of emotional and social skills games and personal development products. A year later, they created Oikos Global Award – Lourdes Gregorio Rayel Outstanding Youth Award to motivate and to recognize young people who have made a difference in the lives of their peers. As a socially responsible business organization, Oikos Global aims to influence people in a positive way through its educational products.
