This set of three therapy activities includes: 1) Mixed Emotions Junior. A colorful feelings chart and people pawns provide a tool for young children to identify various emotions and to indicate the intensity of their emotions. Instructions for two activities are included. On the reverse side of the board is a black and white version of the chart that can be copied and sent home with the child; ideas for "home assignments" are also included. (Ages 3 and up.) 2) That's A Good Question: Youth edition. This game will spark some heartfelt discussions about thoughts and feelings. The Question Book contains 210 questions divided into 21 topics. Players roll the dice to choose a topic and then select one of ten questions to ask another player. The answers lead to insightful discussions that promote emotional well-being. The Youth edition of this popular Good Question game contains 21 kid-friendly topics plus "action questions" that allow players to answer questions by means of Charades and Show and Tell. (Ages 8 through 12) 3) Tracking Beads. Tracking beads are beads that you can count on! Here's how they work: a double strand of cord creates a "track." Each of the ten small beads stays in place until you choose to move it--then it slides easily and smoothly along the track. It's simple but very cool! Tracking beads are motivating, fun and inspiring. They can be used in a variety of counseling activities, for example, as a tool to help children "brainstorm" for solutions to a problem, or as an aid to creating positive affirmations. (All ages.)
