Combining concrete psychological knowledge and an exciting treasure hunt, Solution City promises to become a play therapy staple. Players earn stickers by successfully answering game card questions from each of six categories (school, bus, car, home, playground, and activity). In the process, they add crucial psychological coping skills to their repertoires. By playing the game, children can master each of the following problem-solving skills: Reframing, Doing Something Different, Remembering Exceptions, and Asking the Magic Question. Children learn to focus on potential solutions to problems by taking decisive action to make things right, instead of dwelling on what's wrong.
Additional Information
| Professionals Comments | Hi Angelique Myself and my colleague have been using Solution City fairly regularly with the kids that we see and so far it has been a great success. We have been blown away by the ability of the kids to come up with some amazing solutions that we would never ever think of, the power of a child’s imagination! I would highly recommend it as a tool to allow kids to engage in thinking around problem solving in a way that is not confronting and also a lot of fun.
