Jumanji

Heads up

• Sustained and intense scenes of peril, including animal stampedes, floods, and attacks.
• A menacing hunter stalks the main characters with a rifle, intending to cause harm.
• The sequence with large, realistic spiders can be very frightening for many viewers.

What it models well

• Facing your fears is the only way to overcome them.
• The importance of teamwork to solve difficult problems.
• Mending family relationships and resolving past arguments.

Talk about it after

• Why was it so hard for Sarah to play the game again after all those years?
• Alan felt his father was unfair to him. How did finishing the game change how he saw his dad?
• Peter cheated and faced a consequence. Why is honesty important, even in a game?
