1 A Positive Thinking Card Game

2 Pop! Pop Negative Thoughts Teach kids how to talk back to their negative thoughts by playing this fun bubble gum themed card game. Two ways to play: Matching Game: 1) Print cards, laminate, and cut 2) Mix up cards and lay them face down 3) Take turns drawing two cards 4) If the cards are a match (negative bubble thought and positive popped bubble thought), player gets to keep the pair and flip over two more cards. If the cards are not a pair, next player will have a turn. 5) Player who collects the most pairs, wins the game. Slap Game: Version 1 1) Print cards two sided, with positive thought on one side and matching negative thought on the reverse side. 2) Lay negative thought cards face up 3) Players will pick a negative thought card to read, slap it, and attempt to replace it with a positive thought. Player will flip the card over and check his or her answer (answer doesn t have to be exact but similar to the positive thought card). Player will keep the card if he/she was able to replace the negative thought with a positive thought. Version 2 1) Instead of printing cards two sided, print cards on one side. Lay positive thought cards face up and shuffle the deck of negative thinking cards. 2) Take turns drawing a negative thinking card. The first person who can slap the matching positive thought card, gets to keep the cards. 3) Person with the most matches wins the game

3 This is the worst day ever! Things never go my way! I m not good at anything! Everyone is so much smarter than me.

4 There are lots of things I do well! There are many times when things do go my way! Everyone is smart in different ways! The day isn t great but things can always be worse.

5 My nose is so big! I got that question wrong. I must be stupid. I ll never be good at basketball! I wish I could have as many toys as her!

6 With practice, I can be good at basketball. I got that question wrong. I guess I need a little more practice. I am thankful for the toys I have. My nose makes me unique.

7 I make too many mistakes. I am never going to figure this out. I am not trying it. It is way too scary. Nobody ever asks me to play.

8 With patience and practice I can figure it out. I can be brave even when things seems scary. There are many times when kids ask me to play. Mistakes are proof that I am learning.

9 I hate myself. Life is so unfair. My life is ruined. I am way too shy to make friends.

10 Even though this happened, my life is not ruined. Life will not always be fair and that s okay. I might be shy but I can make friends. I love myself.

11 Why can t I be pretty like her. I give up. Why bother trying? I ll probably fail the test.

12 If I don t try I will never know. I will not give up. If I study and do my best, I can pass the test. Everybody is pretty in a different way.

13 Bad things always happen to me. I am too scared to stand up for myself. School is so boring. I bet nobody will come to my birthday party.

14 Learning can be fun. I am brave enough to stand up for myself. I am very likeable. I am sure people will come to my birthday party. There are many times when good things happen to me.
