Tell Me a Story

The dice game for therapy and counselling

• creative game for therapy
• suitable for children and adults


How do you manage to get patients in therapy to begin to speak about things? About their problems, dreams, strengths, weaknesses... This set of cards and dice provides them with a playful introduction to almost any topic or it can also be used as an icebreaker at the beginning of the therapy.

60 cards on subjects like family relationships, school, dreams/desires/goals, fears, feelings and people provide the stimulus for discussing these topics. The motifs on the nine dice provide keywords for the stories in categories like emotions, the weather, the sensory organs, (living) places, activities, animals, travel, fantasies and addiction. These ideas enable patients to tell real stories from their own lives as well as stories about what they have fantasised. The procedure can be quickly explained and can be used in both individual and group settings, for both young and adult patients. The accompanying booklet describes how this set of dice can be used creatively in therapy.
