Totika is an interactive game and a terrific way to spice up your therapy sessions. Although popular with both boys and girls, Totika is particularly effective in encouraging boys to engage in discussion.

Totika is an excellent way for young people to share their feelings, tell their stories, speak their thoughts, and find solutions to problems through play and questioning. Players begin with a vertical stack of 48 brightly colored wooden blocks. The object is to remove a block, without toppling the stack, and answer the question on the corresponding game card. Play continues until the stack collapses. Because players concentrate on the physical task of removing blocks, they tend to lose their self-consciousness, relax, and begin to talk. For 2 or more players, ages 8 and up.

Totika can be played with any of 5 different card packs. The 5 card categories are: Self-Esteem; Divorce; Life Skills; Principles, Values, and Beliefs-Kids; Principles, Values, and Beliefs-Teen and Adult. Self-Esteem Cards are included in the game.
