This resource has information on the social risk level. This means that the social risk is low if they are not feeling the level of anxiety related to sharing a lot about themselves. There is a 1-3 rating for this. some games are a bit riskier than others in terms of social-emotional risk in sharing about themselves. There is also a 1-3 level of rating for easy to difficult as well as prep needed from the teacher or counselor. There is also a list of social-emotional skills being practiced and addressed. You can see the rating scale based on the number of suns that are yellow.
