Bright Spots Thoughts and Feelings: Sentence Completion Card Game for Emotional Expression and Team Building Activities

Worth it have simple ways to have meaningful conversation with my 6yo who is highly intelligent and highly verbal, but struggles with expressing more intense emotions like anger and frustration. It helps us help our small human to process and express their bigger emotions. She even requests to have "table talk" with these cards.Some prompts are also quite eye opening like, " I wish my family would stop...". By listening to our little one for prompts like this really helps us to build a sense of respect for feelings allowing us to build more useful discipline practices and more in tune redirection during those overwhelming emotional moments.These oversized cards are not meant for play time, but rather for family time. They are a little more sturdy than a regular deck cards, which should be plenty strong to last repeated use with supervision.I really like these cards. I am an MFT intern and am constantly (pleasantly) surprised by how effective these cards are with adolescents, as well as with younger clients. Because of their somewhat childish appearance, I thought these cards wouldn't go over well with teens, but this is the most popular tool I use when working with adolescents at an acute behavioral health hospital. I also work with preadolescents at a community mental health clinic, and my clients there love these cards, too. These cards get conversation started and serve as an excellent way to create rapport in both group and individual settings.June 2022Okay, I'm an LMFT in private practice now, and I'm still using the heck out of these cards. I use these with kids and parents, with teens and parents, and with couples. The illustrations appeal across age stages, and the question prompts get people talking! Definitely one of the most-used and most effective tools in my office.Great way to get kids talkingUsed it as a play time and to build on relationships within family1. Cards have fun pictures appealing for ages 2 plus 2. clear short sentences with easy but interesting questions for all family members in my family3. After playing it once we all found out so much interesting about each otherI’m grateful I’ve found these ones and we will continue using them during our fun converse nights.Every therapist who works with children and adolescents needs these cards! Use them almost every session! Perfect way to help build rapport and open lines of communicationGreat to use in therapy sessionsMy daughter had speech therapy for 2 years and we stopped because it was getting too expensive. So we decided to invest in both sets of these thoughts and feeling cards and it has really helped her continue her speech sessions at home.My 4 year old is a visual learner. She has a difficult time remembering auditory speech. But when something is written with words and pictures, she has a near photographic memory. So these cards are perfect for her. It forces her to think about these questions and using the pictures as guides it makes her use her speech to construct sentences and phrases.Sounds really basic but there's something about flash colorful flash cards that really captures a child's attention. I plan on using these in the junior high classroom environment too. The tweens always gets a kick out of these basic children's cards.These cards are attractive and good conversation starters. Both the cards and the box are well made and durable, an important consideration when you are an in home therapist and the cards are travelling with you. Took one star away because they are pricey. In fact, almost didn't buy because the example cards shown on the box dont have pics and starters that match. Took a chance, and the cards themselves are great.
