What is #Selfcare Pairs?

#Selfcare Pairs is based on the common children’s game memory or pairs. The cards have pictures of potential self-care activites on one side and each picture appears on two cards. The game starts with all the cards of one set face down and players take turns to turn over two cards. When you find a pair, you can keep it and have a conversation about the images.

#Selfcare Pairs is a resource for mental health professionals and parents alike. It helps teaching children and young people about the variety and importance of self-care in a fun and playful way.


What’s inside the box?

One box of #Selfcare Pairs contains 62 cards and a booklet. The 62 cards are colour coded, split into two suggested age groups: Yellow frame is 6–12 years, Green frame 13–17+ years. With your purchase you will be able to download a free digital copy of additional conversation tips for each #Selfcare Pair. It is possible to mix both sets together.
