Following a D&D actual play with kids at the table, educators Ryan, Raenelle, and Allison break down some of the many benefits kids experience through playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games. The Kids Table LIVE dungeons & dragons actual play is a recording of a SXSW Edu 2026 performance by @thekidstablednd [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCv-i7fLnvX2iJjmoukFbMsQ] . "What if kids could level up their Social-Emotional Learning skills while playing a tabletop roleplaying game? Our cast of kids & grownups will perform for you a live, improvised, likely chaotic game of Dungeons & Dragons. Afterwards, our adult speakers will break down how the game you just saw fosters outcomes like empathy, communication, and confidence, and why this type of support is so critical now. You'll come away with ideas for how to integrate D&D and other TTRPGs into classroom, library, after school, or home environments."
