Where you can use it
In schools
Teachers can select age-appropriate prompts to encourage reflection, listening and positive classroom conversation. Activities should be adapted to the needs and safeguarding practices of the setting.
In groups
Take turns answering a prompt, sharing a memory or completing a movement activity. The cards give everyone a clear opportunity to contribute.
Use the cards and pebble together
Choose a card and pass the Positivity Pebble to the person whose turn it is to speak. It creates an easy turn-taking moment and reminds everyone else to listen.
