Go Fish: Swimming Toward Self-Control

False advert re packaging but good cards..

When this product arrived, I was initially disappointed as unlike the pictured item, the cards do not come in the nice storage box, but in a hard plastic box too big for the product. Additionally, the cards are sharp on the corners, not slightly rounded like in the picture and sometimes little hands find the corners a bit sharp. On the other hand, I have found this recourse useful to use with a variety of children, who usually express enjoying the game and want to play again.

Questions to make you think

We enjoyed using these cards with children ages 5-11. Some of the questions really made all of us think. For example, one question asked "If someone laughed at you, what would you say to yourself to help yourself feel better." At first, all of us wanted to respond with what would we say to the other person, but the question asks- what would you say to yourself. It gave us new, helpful perspectives.
