Revealing Your Feelings
Materials: Paper; black marker; Crayola Color Changeables™ markers; small candy or stickers (optional)
Description: The therapist draws various shapes on the paper using a black marker. Using the invisible marker from the package of Crayola Changeable Markers™ , the therapist writes various feeling words or the word “Treat” inside the shapes. Players take turns coloring in a shape with one of the color Changeable Markers™. This will reveal the feeling word previously written inside the shape with the invisible marker. After the feeling has been revealed, the child discusses a time they experienced the feeling indicated in the shape. If the word “Treat” is inside the shape, the child selects a piece of candy. Stickers can be used instead of candy if so desired.
Again, this technique can be seen demonstrated by visiting our web site. This is just a sample of what you will obtain by attending the Winter Conference so sign up today!
