- This is an explanation of how I use the game of Uno in therapy sessions. This is probably my favorite game/activity and can be done with younger kids, adolescents, and especially works great with families.

Absolutely brilliant!
Fantastic use of a simple interactive game. I definitely see the brilliance in it. Makes me want to create my own interactive game when I become to a counselor.
This was great and helpful! Will play this with my 14 year old client today
This is genius!!! Thank you!! I have tweens and this is perfect. Love the matching the colors with the issues we are working on!!
This was so incredibly helpful!!! Thank you. I hope you make more videos. Going to check now. 😊
Glad you liked it, we're working on more now!
Thank you so much for this!! It was very helpful
Thanks for sharing. I'll us as an ice breaker with a family I'm working with.
This is great with families. Sometimes you have to enforce rules about who is allowed to talk, but kids love that part too.
Hi I have a question. I never thought to have the colors be other categories as: rules at home, rules at school, etc. can you provide more ideas for kids experiencing divorce? Thank you so much. I have kiddos I work with and I’ve always played feelings uno in therapy with them. Love the idea 💡 of the other questions just would like more clarification and specific questions? Thank you
Hi, and thanks for watching! This all depends on rapport you have with the client, but good categories for a child with divorcing parents is RED = Say something about your mom, BLUE = Say something about your dad, and YELLOW = Talk about your house/home. This is an easy way to address issues around their parents without intervening too much
With clients I have higher rapport (savvy teenagers, etc.), the categories can have topics worded differently so they are more direct (arguments with mom, etc.). Hope this helps!
They also have therapy uno cards
Def looking forward to using this with clients! Thank you! What would this intervention be called in a progress note?
I would write play therapy in my note for this intervention
And you could also include the fact that you are building a therapeutic/working relationship.
Very Creative !!
