FLIP-A-CARD

I gave every group a set of cards. The group appointed a dealer who shuffled, dealt one card to each one and then put the remaining cards in a pile face down on the table.  The child thought about the card he/she had been given and how it reflected their personality, as either a strength or a weakness. If the card meant something to them, KEEP IT. Starting to the left of the dealer each member of the group, in turn had the chance to reject their card and put it face down underneath the pile, and replace it with another from the top of the pile. If they get a blank card they could write in strengths or weaknesses of their choice. The exercise was completed when all the cards had been used. Everyone in the group then showed their selection of cards to the rest of the group and, in turn, each of them explained their choice of strengths and weaknesses cards.
Other members of the group also asked them to give examples.

It was taken so well by the children…..I am planning it to do with teachers as well in one of the collaboration meetings. J
