64 Affirmation Cards for Kids, a Top Pick by Jean Dunbar R.S.W., M. Ed., CPT

 

 

 

Featured Activity: The "I Am, I Think I Am, I Don’t Think I Am" Game*

I Am, I Think I Am, I Don’t Think I Am* is a fun game to play with these cards. The child is asked to sort the cards into three piles: attributes they know they have, attributes they think they have, and attributes they don’t think they have. The clinician or teacher can then engage in a discussion about how the cards ended up in their respective piles. The way the child sorts the cards provides valuable information about the child’s perceived strengths and weaknesses. 

*This game is replicated from the Child Therapy Toys website, and originally appears in the book Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents and Families: Practitioners Share Their Most Effective Techniques by Liana Lowenstein.
