Description
Help your counseling students work on learning and practicing coping skills with this easy to play card game. Just print out the game and use a regular deck of cards. Your students will love talking about when they have used coping skills and will have fun practicing some of the fundamental breathing strategies with the additional breathing cards. Prompts help facilitate discussions about situations when they will use coping strategies in the future.
To Play:
•Give students playing each 7 cards (and yourself if you want.)
•Put a random card down.
•Have students take turns putting down a card of the same suit, or a card that is a number the same or higher than the card on the table.
•As students put their cards down, read the corresponding prompt.
•If a student can’t put a card down, have them draw 2 cards, but skip their turn.
•Play until the session is over, or THE DECK runs out of cards.
