2. Select one of self esteem affirmations that you think it's useful for your kid and one positive affirmation for yourself. For example, "I am lovable, capable and wonderful".

How to play this 1st game of our proposed self esteem games:

1. Each person introduce own name, teddy bear(doll)'s name and the positive affirmation, Magic Words, that want to focus on.

   For example, My name is SallyBeam. And here's my good friend, LoveCap (my teddy bear). My magic words are "I am lovable, capable and wonderful."

2. Put all self esteem nurturing cards into a pile. And turn it upside down. So that no one see what're written in the cards.
3. Start by one person picking up one card.
4. The person stands up and say his/her magic words in this style..."I am...You are..."

   For example, when it's my turn picking up a card. I stand up and say "I am lovable, capable and wonderful. You are lovable, capable and wonderful."

   The person is encouraged to hug his/her doll or look at it before speaking.

5. The person who picks up a card state the affirmation written in the card out loud and share one thing that was asked in the card.


P.S. To spice up and add more fun, adding some more enjoyable activities after each person's speak.

Example, when the person finish sharing, other person in the group give him/her a Hi5 by giving your right hand and clapping it with the speaking person's right hand like in the photo here. And tell him/her "You're awesome!

6. Then other person, maybe person on the right hand, pick up a card and share.

After playing the self esteem games, encourage every person to continue say self esteem affirmations with the doll or write his/her success journal scrapbook everyday.

And every weekend, schedule a time to enjoy decorating our success scrapbook and feel good about ourselves and our life.

If you play this game with your kids, this decorating time will be a good time with your kids.:-)

It would be better if you let your kids help you decorate your success journal scrapbook also.

P.S. If you give the Tappy Bear to your kids, tell your kids to keep it as a buddy.

They can talk with Tappy while tapping the marking points (or buttons) on Tappy's body.

Or kids can use mirror image method, which the children tap on Tappy to “help Tappy". This method kids can help themselves by helping Tappy.
