Achievement Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Children and adolescents with attitudinal problems related to school attendance
and performance; Adolescents at risk of dropping out of school
Common beliefs interfering with school achievement are challenged by The Achievement
Game. The Achievement Game and Workbook address 20 attitudes common among
children and adolescents with school attendance and achievement problems -
students at risk of dropping out of school.
These attitudes represented by the game cards and workbook exercises can be
grouped into five major belief systems:
Everything
will turn out okay whether I work or not
Everything in school should be fun and without frustration
Having friends and doing well in school don’t mix
Nothing in school will ever benefit me
Doing well in school means giving in to adults
Both Game and Workbook encourage students to explore similarities between these
beliefs and their own as well as to express unique beliefs that are not represented,
but may be stimulated by, these five beliefs. The School Achievement Inventory
can be used to assist in the selection of the most relevant cards.

Anxiety Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
This is a comprehensive tool for counselors of anxious or phobic children
and adolescents. The game addresses the 15 most common situations that cause
anxiety for this age group—everything from starting conversations to
taking tests to fear of the dark. Learning objectives help children overcome
the underlying causes of anxiety: fear of rejection, fear of incompetence,
negative imagery, and inability to cope. “Positive” model game
cards depict characters using specific coping skills to handle stressful situations,
while “negative” model game cards oblige players to arrive at
their own solutions. This format promotes a transfer of learning to the players’
real-life situations.
Inventories allow you to focus the game on particular situations, specific learning objectives, or both.

The Assertion Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Aggressive children and youth
Passive and submissive children and youth
The Assertion Game teaches players to respond assertively to provocative
situations. When angered by others, most people respond in one of two ways.
They may retaliate with an aggressive response, or they may submit passively.
Neither of these responses is likely to solve the problem.
The Children’s Action Inventory can be administered to assess the domains and
types of provocations where the individual acts least assertively. The most
appropriate cards can then be selected for play.

process. Game cards and workbook exercises which match the present
circumstances of the child, or future circumstances in order to prepare him for
future stress, can be selected. The Children’s Beliefs About Parental Separation
Inventory accompanies the game and can be used to select those cards reflecting
the child’s problematic beliefs.

learning objectives. The five major disabilities are: Speech Impairments (S);
Visual Impairments (V); Hearing Impairments (H); Motoric Impairments (M);
Cognitive Impairments (C). The game is designed so that with proper card
selection, the game can be played with 1) mixed groups of disabled and
nondisabled children, 2) homogenous groups of either abled or disabled
children. The Peer Reaction Checklist and the Disabilities Checklist may be
used to select the most appropriate cards from the 180 available.

Drugs and Alcohol Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Children and adolescents at risk for drug abuse
Children and adolescents recovering from drug abuse
The Drugs and Alcohol Game deals with a variety of motivations that underlie
drugs and alcohol abuse. The Drugs and Alcohol Game is both a treatment and
prevention program depending upon the cards selected for play. Cards portray
abuse of alcohol, marijuana, crack and pills of various kinds, although the
insights and cognitive skills required apply to all drugs. The card characters
portray 30 different motivations for drug use, grouped in three categories:
Social motivations; Emotional motivations; Attitudinal motivations.
The Drug Use Motivation Inventory can be administered to determine which drug
use motivation(s) would be most prevalent if the child or adolescent were to
use drugs (or has used in the case of treatment). The most appropriate cards
can then be selected accordingly.

interaction for each: Child owned Problems; Positive Child Behaviors; Negative
Parental Behaviors; Positive Parental Behaviors.

The Frustration Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Children and adolescents frustrated because of irrational attitudes and inadequate
problem solving skills.
The Frustration Game teaches players to avoid various cognitive traps that
interfere with effective problem solving. The Frustration Game addresses two
major sources of frustration: 1) irrational attitudes and beliefs, and 2)
deficiencies in problem solving skills. These two sources of frustration are
interrelated; problem solution will prove impossible when the definition of a
problem is based on an irrational attitude and belief.
The Frustration Inventory identifies problematical attitudes and beliefs and
permits the selection of the most relevant cards for play.

Living with Parents Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Children and adolescents with concerns relating to parenting
Abused and neglected children
Children and adolescents with problems related to foster care
The Living with Parents Game teaches players to change parental behavior when
possible and to avoid self-blame when it is not. Virtually all programs to
improve parenting entail working with the parents. The role of children in
improving parenting of their parents -- or when this cannot be done, to at
least minimize the negative impact of poor parenting -- has been largely
ignored. The Living with Parents Game focuses on the child, and is, therefore,
the ideal medium for working on parenting when the parents are unwilling or
unable to attend. When parents do attend with the child, the game is an excellent
medium to process parenting issues. The Game attends to 24 inadequate parental
behaviors in four groups: Autonomy; Discipline; Emotional Support; Physical
Needs.

Personality Game and Workbook
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Children and youth with personality disorders
Children and youth whose personality traits interfere with interpersonal
relationships
The Personality Game teaches children and youth to counter negative personality
traits before they become fully developed disorders that are resistant to
change. The game (and workbook) has three learning objectives. Each is intended
to change specific thoughts and behaviors related to each of the personality
disorders. Answers and discussions of game cards, and completion of workbook
exercises, address these objectives.
The Personality Inventory, included as part of the game manual, helps to
identify the most significant personality problems; appropriate cards can then
be selected.

Recovery Game and Workbook
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Applications:
Adolescents and adults in drug and alcohol treatment
Adolescents and adults in relapse prevention training
Players are encouraged to contribute and share personal experiences while
playing The Recovery Game. Individuals recovering from dependence on alcohol
and drugs are ambivalent; one part of them wants to abstain, the other part
wants to continue to use.
Some describe this phenomenon as the feeling that one has two Selves --- a
Rational Self and an Addictive Self. These Selves talk to each other, attempting
to persuade the other. Those who are in recovery have heard their Rational
Voice, and countered the arguments of their Addictive Voice. They have banished
their Addictive Self. Those who continue to use have done the opposite.
The Recovery Game uses this metaphor to teach clients in recovery to listen to
their Rational Voice, and to actively counter the arguments heard from their
Addictive Voice. Players draw cards and conduct a debate between the two
Voices. All players are encouraged to contribute, and to share personal
experiences stimulated by the card. Adolescents pride themselves in acquiring
chips for good role plays, and enjoy the chance elements of winning or losing
chips by the roll of the die. Adults will generally want to forego the chips
and concentrate more on the cards, the issues they raise, and the exploration
of personal experience.
The Recovery Inventory is included with the manual. The Inventory identifies
the most appropriate cards for each player. The most relevant cards -- from the
180 available -- can then be selected for play. The manual suggests appropriate
responses for the various card types.

Stress Management Game
Berthold Berg, Ph.D.
Join Angus the
anxious terrier and Serena the cat in this delightful board game as they deal
with 15 common social stressors grouped into three categories:
• Peers
(dealing with being left out, handling group pressure, responding to teasing,
saying no, and showing sportsmanship)
• Authority (accepting consequences, accepting denials, being honest,
managing accusations, and making complaints)
• School (attending, completing homework, meeting expectations, performing
in class, and taking tests)
Game cards feature Angus the anxious terrier struggling to manage stress as his good friend Serena helps him refrain from extremism, catastrophizing, dichotomizing, overgeneralizing, and personalizing situations. The four different card categories keep the game interesting as players engage in role play, learn proven stress management tips, challenge cognitive errors, and learn to identify the triggers and symptoms of stress.
Accompanying inventories help you identify the child’s most troubling stressors.

Too Much,
Too Little, Just Right
Claudia
Weiss-Hassman, L.C.S.W., Sandra Singer, Ph.D., and Lois Feigenbaum, L.C.S.W.
Ages 6 to 12
People communicate using not only words, but also tone of voice and body language.
Many children, however, fail to notice these relatively subtle social cues.
This game teaches children to pay attention to tone of voice, observe body
language, and note how these cues affect the message.
Children assume two roles during game play: Messenger and Listener. They learn
by observing others and by getting immediate feedback about their own expressive
abilities. They learn to adjust volume, expression, gestures, and other physical
cues in order to communicate effectively and achieve greater self-control.
Acquiring these skills helps children develop more appropriate and satisfying
social relationships.
Ideal for 2 to 8 players, this game can be easily used with larger groups
or classrooms as well. Because it focuses on social interaction among players
rather than on a game board, it can be played virtually anywhere. Clearly
focused and easy to use, Too Much, Too Little, Just Right is an exceptional
tool for those working with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorders. Included
with the game, and also available separately, is an Express-o-Meter, a sliding
ruler that allows you to give students feedback about whether they are communicating
appropriately.
