I love the Angels cards. I use them with students at the high school I work at. I use them as a diagnostic and formative assessment tool, a way of gathering student voice that is enjoyable for them; picking a card that resonates with them, discussing what it is about the card they are drawn to, what it says about who they are or who they are becoming or who they aspire to be, what this means to them and what this looks like in their day to day life, inside and outside of school. I choose a card too, to build relationship and scaffold their experience with the cards. They might also choose a card that speaks to them about what they hope for. I use the cards as doorways to many different ideas and thoughts students may have about their life, and life in general.
I love the shy looking bear from The Bear Cards Set. I love that the body language is open to interpretation and have so many adults and children select that card but attach different meanings and feelings to the bear.
The Car Cards are my favourites as they are so easy to use with any age or gender. At work we have used them with women’s groups, with children, parenting groups and also when working with teenagers. We use them as a pre/post tool for some of our groups too and the stories and anecdotes are powerful.
There are so many wonderful cards. The one that speaks to me the most is ‘the school bag’ frrom the Two Worlds deck. It is a reminder of what it must be like for my nearly 9 year old carting things back and forth between homes. I useed these cards a lot in child-inclusive practice in mediation for separated families. Each child would pick cards that spoke to them about their experience at each home and would explain why. Invaluable!!
I love the bear cards and the self-care cards. Bear cards when working with children are so helpful! I use them when meeting with children at work. I usually – depending on the age of the child, pre-select a variety of different emotions (10ish) and then ask them what bear they are in certain situations. It gives me so much insight into how they are feeling, especially when words are hard to express. The self-care cards have been a great ice breaker at team events and also in supervision.
