A Therapeutic Treasure Deck of Feelings and Sentence Completion Cards (Therapeutic Treasures Collection)
£21.80
The perfect tool to add to any ‘therapeutic treasure box’, this set of 68 cards provides a way to help open conversations and structure discussions with children and adolescents aged 6+.
The treasure deck offers a fun, non-threatening way to help to build understanding and forge relationships. It also provides a safe, playful way for children to articulate and make sense of their feelings, thoughts, experiences and beliefs. The deck comes with two different types of card – the ‘feelings cards’ and the ‘sentence completion cards’ – which can be used separately or together, and the cards are accompanied by a booklet which explains some of the different ways in which they can be therapeutically used.
Designed and tested by specialist clinical psychologist, trainer and author Dr Karen Treisman, this deck is a little treasure that will have great value for anyone working with children and adolescents aged 6+.

These cards will be really helpful in interventions with my adult service users! They may be designed with children in mind but they’re so versatile. Such a great tool for therapeutic exercises. Also a bonus that they’re such great quality; well designed and crafted!

Absolutely brilliant! Finally, a good quality resource that saves the time spent on making my own, whilst also providing everything I need. The feelings cards are broad, varied and descriptive with beautiful quality illustrations depicting animals – a nice change from human or cartoons of human faces. This is especially helpful for young people who struggle to relate various feelings to themselves and really feels like it bridges a gap. The sentence starters are also varied, ranging from favourite colours and films to topics that are much more sensitive. As well as covering some of the suggested tasks in the enclosed leaflet and the book also by Treisman, we have adapted a few traditional card games using the feelings cards instead. A great way of expanding student vocabulary and awareness of different emotions.

I had heard from another outreach teacher about these lovely cards and decided to purchase some to use with primary children I work with who are disengaged or excluded from learning and schools.
From day one, they were so useful and enabled children to show how they felt and express feelings about school and people in their life in a creative and enjoyable way.
I use them in sessional work as well as a reviewing and planning tool for my work and to inform reingagment work with schools. They are beautiful and the children love working with them.
Children of any age who are struggling to express and articulate emotions about things in their life, and in particular about how school and their community of learning, fit into their lives and in turn benefit and enrich their lives, can work with teaching and support staff using these cards.
The scope for use is endless and one session I did recently used only three to identify small steps of progress and perceived areas of strength and weakness beyond out session, which could be celebrated and supported within their usual school and learning environment.
Awesome!

Easy to use cards for therapeutic use with young children
by Lady Corvid
Such a handy tool to have with you. There seems to be something for everyone in there!
by Ella .
Was nicely packaged and some nice ideas. However, I could not get too excited about the illustrations as we didn’t find all of them effectively depicting the emotions. You cannot always tell which emotion they are trying to depict unless you read the emotion underneath the picture. Some nice conversation starters.

The set is in fact two packs in one, feelings and sentence completion. The illustrations are just the right level of detail to make them equally suitable for young children and older teenagers and to avoid them being too ‘busy’. If you also have the book ‘A Therapeutic Treasure Box’ you can print small black and white versions of the cards from the PDF link that the book comes with. As well as the activity ideas in the little booklet in the box it is very easy to make up your own activities. Have found the cards a very powerful tool so far and parents and children love them.
