A favourite resource of ours recently is the Ups and Downs card set from St Luke’s Innovative Resources.
With no text, just images, these cards are wonderful conversation starters. And with their quirky little figures adrift in bathtubs on the ocean, they are great fun for groups of all ages to use. The images capture a wide range of different situations and the ups and downs of these wee sailors’ journeys on the ocean, matching the many moods and ups and downs of life.
St Luke’s Innovative Resources, based in Bendigo, Victoria, is the best source we know for strength-focused resources of all kinds.
