One of the most challenging things about working with kids is getting them to talk. I mean really talk. Like, not about minecraft. Kids aren't usually used to being self-reflective and that can make a counselor's job challenging. To help, I made an activity I call "character cards." I used 36 character words like "afraid" or "lonely." I then ask the student to sort them into three categories: like me, kind of like me, and not like me. This opens up a lot of discussion both during the sorting process and after. Because the character cards include both positive and negative traits, we can really see what a child thinks of themselves. It's a great activity and one I come back to again and again.
