Discussion Starters

 

 Ideal for circle time and SEAL

 "Children are not the people of tomorrow but are the people of today. They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be, “The unknown person” inside each of them is our hope for the future.” Janusz Korez


Our Discussion Starter range includes the popular Feelings Cards series and the best-selling Talkabout Card series. Both can be individually tailored for use within groups or one-to-one sessions.


The Feeling Cards (four sets of cards) are a very useful and powerful resource for teaching Emotional Literacy as the cards are open-ended and invite the participants to complete the sentence as personally appropriate.  The four sets of cards in the series are complemented by two Positive Poster Sets.


The Talkabout Cards are an ideal resource for Circle Time.  These best-selling series of discussion cards (again four sets in the series) have enormous potential for use in developing self awareness, self esteem, self image and personal belief systems.
