"How can you use this information?" (Blue). The sequence of questions not only takes participants through a progression for processing a specific event but also presents an overall structure on proper processing.
There are 32 different processing questions pre-printed on the panels of the ball. Invite your group to sit or stand in a circle. Answer 3-6 questions per color. Orange first, Green second, Blue third. Throw it, Catch it. Depending on what color question you are on, look under your thumb or closest to your thumb and answer the question! Participant responses can vary each time you play.
The thumball is soft, suitable for indoor or outdoor play and measures approximately 6" diameter.
Ages: Teens+
The Relapse Prevention Game
Here is a cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention program for adolescents and adults recovering from alcohol and drug abuse. The game systematically prepares players to deal with the many threats to sobriety by identifying subconscious urges to use and countering them with conscious and rational arguments.
By playing the game, individuals acquire the cognitive and behavioral skills necessary to sustain abstinence. A self-report inventory is included to help identify individual needs.
Professional counselors can use this game with individuals or groups of up to 6 players. Because it requires minimal training, this game is also excellent for self-help groups. It can serve as the core of a cognitive recovery group, an adjunct to Alcoholics Anonymous, or an alternative for those who don't benefit from the AA approach to recovery.
The structured format helps groups stay on task, and game cards assure that discussions touch on a wide range of issues. The game can be played with adolescents, who will enjoy its chance elements, or with adults, who may prefer to forego game play in favor of concentrating on the game cards.
For individuals or groups of up to 6 players
