Thumball is a soft stuffed ball to throw, roll, or pass in a circle or randomly. Catch it! Look under your thumb. Respond to the prompt. Kids absolutely love this interactive tool that will get them talking and sharing. Without even knowing it, you will be encouraging the use of interpersonal skills including taking turns, eye contact, listening, responding, valuing similarities and respecting individual differences.

Resiliency Thumball™ players read and respond to prompts and discuss ways to bounce back when difficult situations arise. The facilitator chooses one of three ways for players to respond to the prompts.

• Tell about something you did when you were...
• Tell about something helpful you could do if you were...
• Tell about where you could go for help if you were...
