Head Rush - Social Skills Games and Therapy Games, A Game That Develops Mindfulness, Self Awareness, and Communication

I was a little apprehensive getting this because I saw a lot of reviews saying the instructions and the game itself was a bit too complicated, but I played this with one of my DBT groups (age range 12-17) and they really enjoyed it! It was a great way to get everyone talking and to open up a little more about themselves, and the competition aspect made it fun for them. I think it would also be great to utilize in individual sessions and in a non-competitive way as well, especially for kids who are a little more shy and reserved. Would definitely recommend!

Use it to just answer questions and not really in the way the game is set up.

I've had many great moments getting to know my scholars as a school social worker providing counseling services! The questions are interesting, thought provoking, and not corny like some other get-to-know-you type games. It work fine 1:1 and great in a group! Highly recommend!

Kids love to play with this

Played this with my teenager and boyfriend… got them talking!!! However the cards get repetitive real quick, so even though it was fun we don’t really see the point of playing it over and over because we already know most of the questions from playing once.

This is a great tool/card game to get the conversation started around these tough and sometimes awkward topics. I love having a game/tool that I can go to in order to help with easing these conversations with clients. The cards are smaller in size then I thought but other than that it is awesome to use with clients.

Not quite what we thought it would be.....

Fun game, some of the directions were hard to get the kids to understand but overall it was great! Used the game for a recreation therapy group and will be using it again!
