“I used this product in my Occupational Therapy Assisting program clinical work with adults who were part of a Day Therapy program. Many were recovering addicts or were homeless. I was so pleased that they all thoroughly enjoyed this activity and many of them requested that we “play” it week after week!!”

Based on classic shedding-style games, the goal is to discard all your cards first. Players match the top card in the discard pile by number, color, or symbol. If the card contains a gratitude prompt, the player shares their response. Players may also use Pass Tickets (up to two) to skip prompts if they prefer.
.
Take 3: The next player must draw three cards before their turn.
Rotate Right / Rotate Left: All players pass their hands in the chosen direction.
Go Again: The player immediately takes another turn.
Free!: The player chooses a new color (or shape) and discards an extra card.
Free + Spy!: The player peeks at another player’s hand, then chooses a new color (or shape) and discards an extra card.
.
Players or teams choose a number on the game board.
Each number corresponds to a gratitude question or prompt.
After answering, they cover that number with their pawn.
The first player or team to complete a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of 4 or 5 wins.
.
The Gratitude Card Game combines fun with evidence-based benefits. By encouraging kids to express appreciation and reflect on what makes them thankful, this game builds coping skills, boosts happiness, and strengthens social-emotional learning. It’s an ideal resource for classrooms, counseling sessions, or family time.
