GO FISH: SWIMMING TOWARD SELF CONTROL CARD GAME
Even kids who have not received a diagnosis of ADHD have problems with self-control from time to time. Everybody has impulses that could cause inappropriate behavior. Play-2-Learn Go Fish card games play like classic Go Fish. This game helps players take charge of their impulses instead of their impulses taking charge of them. The game utilizes proven techniques for improving self-control, including pausing to think about possible consequence, delaying gratification, self-talk, and problem-solving strategies. There are two decks of 50 cards in each game – one for grades K-2 and the other for grades 3-5. The games differ from classic go fish in that players must answer a question before they can accept a requested card. Instead of the usual number and picture cards, the cards have fun pictures of fish and fish names. Each game comes with a rules sheet and facilitator guidelines.
