(Game) 2008, Ages 6-12, Creative Therapy Store
Based on the popular card game Crazy Eights, this fast-paced therapeutic card game will open up discussion and help improve self-esteem. This game asks children to think about the way they make decisions, the way they respond to criticism and peer pressure, what they are willing to do for friendship, how to set and reach goals, how to use positive self-talk and more. It helps youngsters understand that certain kinds of self talk and behaviors make them feel good about themselves and certain self-talk and behaviors don’t. It opens up meaningful discussions that counselors and therapists can use to teach cognitive habits that raise self-esteem.
