Clinician-created · facilitator review requiredFor clinician-facilitated use
This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.
The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.
How to use it
- Choose whether to try, discuss, change, or pass on each option.
- Mark a square after exploring it in any way that feels comfortable.
- Play for curiosity rather than speed, winning, or personal disclosure.
Reflection prompts
- Which options would you keep, change, or skip?
- Did any option depend on the setting or support available?
- What new square would you add?
Facilitator guidance
Use cooperatively and make participation voluntary. Do not award points for disclosure, emotional performance, or completing an uncomfortable skill.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use a shared group board instead of individual competition.
- Allow discussion, demonstration, drawing, or passing to count equally.
- Reduce the grid size and increase icon contrast.
