Een stap-voor-stap handleiding om het spel te spelen
1
Place the Compliments & Talents Poster in the centre of the group.
2
Explain the objective of the game which is to work together as a group and to collect the necessary icons (hearts, suns, mirrors, flowers and stars) by giving and receiving compliments. Ensure everyone understands the importance of kindness and cooperation.
3
Each player chooses a bottle cap or pawn and places it on the talent (= images accompanied by a star) they believe they are best at.
4
Review the symbols and their corresponding exercises with the players (see additional game information).
5
The players take turns rolling the dice and move their pawns accordingly. The direction of movement on the board starts clockwise.
6
When a player lands on a square with a symbol, they must complete the corresponding exercise. If the exercise is not completed successfully or positively, the group loses a point (one of the gained icons).
7
The game ends when the group has collected 5 suns, 5 hearts, 5 flowers, 5 mirrors, and 5 talents. Alternatively, the group can decide in advance on (the number of) specific icons or categories they want to collect.
8
After the game, facilitate a discussion about the experience. Ask questions such as:
- How did it feel to give and receive compliments?
- Did you learn anything new about your peers?
- How can you apply what you’ve learned in your daily life?
Extra informatie over het spel
On the poster, you can find a variety of symbols.
- Sun (5 times): If you land on this square, the whole group compliments you.
- Hearts (5 times): If you land on this square, you should give a compliment of your choice to another player.
- Mirrors (5 times): If you land on this square, you should give a compliment to yourself. Categories can include character, looks, current actions, or moments of pride.
- Flowers (5 times): If you land on this square, you should discuss a talent you want to grow in or what talent you want your team to grow in.
- Talents with small stars (20 different ones): If you land on this square, you should decide which person of the group corresponds with the depicted talent. Depicted talents are (starting top left and following the path): Smart, collaboration, fantasy, being happy, handy, supportive, creative, adventurous, making choices, having many ideas, sporty, musical, energetic, calm, planning, spoiling others, social, mood lifter.
There are also special squares:
- Tornado (4 times) - Switch to another tornado on the game board.
- Reverse (3 times) – Switch direction. When you switch direction, this applies to all players in the group, meaning the next player immediately changes direction.
- Dice (3 times) – Throw again.
- Joker (4 times) - Use as a sun, heart, mirror, flower or talent. Your choice.
Trauma-informed considerations:
- Create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable sharing.
- Allow children to pass if they feel uncomfortable with any exercise.
- Emphasize the importance of sincerity and kindness in all interactions.

This game is part of the toolkit ‘Facing trauma - A toolkit on trauma-informed support for children and youth’. This toolkit is a cooperation between StreetSmart, Minor-Ndako, Save the Children Romania & SolidarityNow, cofinanced by the European Union. It provides simple tools to explore important topics like trauma, stress, self-care and emotions in a way that’s easy to use with different target groups.
Variaties
For younger children, you can explore the poster by scanning the different elements:
- How many colours do you see in the poster? Which?
- Which symbols do you see? e.g. a heart, children, ...
- What is the number of each?
- Choose a drawing from the board and create your own story
Add an extra rule to make it more difficult: if another player lands on your ‘starting’ talent, they cannot choose you again and have to look for another player who matches this talent.
