Each deck can be used in multiple ways. You can have quick conversations around one or two cards or you can host a sit-down game. The purpose is to get you talking about and understanding your practices and values as a family, peers, in a program (such as orientation, career exploration, financial literacy) or any classroom - discussing options and future aspirations. What celebrations do you have? What struggles challenged you? Does your family have unique skills in a field of work (timber, sugaring, farming, sales, engineering, teaching, art, health and wellness, etc.) and how did you develop your values? How do you save and spend money? What interests do you have for your future? What are you curious about?
Quick game:
There are several ideas in our Ideas Guide in a downloadable PDF when you purchase the complete set of five.
The prompts offer a variety of options for multi-age groups. Ideal in the classroom, for anytime you have a moment with family, and for educational programming, such as orientation, break out groups, introductory course work and social exploration. And remember, it isn’t only the information that’s known that makes the difference — it’s the process by which this information is shared that will make the biggest impact. The stories don’t have to be just the good stuff either! Overcoming challenges and struggles strengthens our personal narrative.
We believe that ongoing conversations lead to stronger trust and build confident relationships. Building a strong narrative and understanding our values, encourages movement toward self-confidence and growth. Everyone needs someone in their corner who is listening.
