Teen Talk in a Jar

I am a high school counselor and psychology instructor for the local community college. My students LOVE this product. Whenever we have any spare time, this is what they want to get out and do. It is amazing the amount of information and concerns that can be identified in an informal environment when using this product. I would definitely recommend this for counselors and teachers wanting to get to know their kids.

My teen girls love this jar when they need a break from our usual anger management group. It has fun questions and good processing questions as well. I like to use it for my girls to find a way to relate to each other- other than their anger.

I am a psychotherapist and I use these kinds of products to help people open up and communicate. These are good questions, but I think they are actually more appropriate for younger kids up to maybe 12-13. The Ungame for Teens is great for the older teens.

I am a case manager and use this in my teen groups as conversation starters. It is also great for practicing accepting different views of topics.

I bought these because my son has started his one word responses to anything I ask. I find it hard to just talk about anything and thought these would help us talk about crazy things while driving or hanging out. The questions are "thought provoking" and my favorite was: "if you knew you were losing your hearing tomorrow, what would you want to hear one last time? My son said he would want to hear laughter from his friends and family and that they loved him.

Cards with questions. Honestly, they can be done at home to address specific concerns then laminated. I ended up removing the cards and most I asked in a different way.

I’m home schooling my 2 granddaughters & thought these would be fun. I was right!! We pull a card out & the whole family gets in on the answers!! We’re really enjoying it!!

Wanted some engaging conversation with my teens. We keep it sitting in the middle of the dining room table and grab a few out while we’re eating. The kids started out thinking it was kind of lame, but now they ask if we can do a few. Also, I take them on youth group trip outings, on bus rides, and for team building.

I use these cards with teens who I see for therapy. Many of the teens do not want to be at therapy, and are reluctant to engage. By using these cards early on in therapy, the teens typically open up and talk about things without even realizing they are participating in therapy. They are brilliant cards. I also find that I use the cards to assess the beliefs, value systems, problem solving, behaviors, choices, and personality of the kids. Often times, the teens start talking about topics that they find difficult to navigate, and it is great way to open doors to talking about their difficult situations. I really like these cards and enjoy using them. Highly recommended. Even nice tools for parents to use with their kids for bonding and problem solving.

Pour solliciter les conversations dans mes classes d’anglais langue seconde. Bien!

Meh, not sure I shouldn't have just made this up myself, nothing special
