WELCOME TO WHEEL CHALLENGE: MENTAL HEALTH!
How do you keep your clients or group engaged when you're teaching about mental health? If you're used to seeing blank faces while you're talking about important topics you're not alone. It's difficult to keep people interested in heavy subjects.
Fortunately our activities like this Wheel of Fortune-Inspired therapy game makes the conversation more interesting and enjoyable. You'll review and real-life skills while solving fun puzzles that bring up natural discussions.
This game is created to work with all ages - you'll just adapt the depth of your discussion for your group of older kids, teens, or adults. Each puzzle has a traditional phrase like in a real Wheel of Fortune game, but is followed by a related prompt on topics such as talking about mental health, building coping skills, and creating a plan to ask for help when needed.
Project the game in PowerPoint and enjoy our animations and sound effects. You'll spin the wheel to find the next puzzle topic, then take turns guessing the letters and puzzles. As a letter is guessed the host can click on the box to reveal it, like in a real Wheel of Fortune game!
The activity includes instructions for playing as individuals or as teams, and you can play competitively or just for fun.
