Creative Affirmation Jar


Affirmation Jar Play Therapy Activity

I keep a jar of random affirmations in my office for clients who need a boost at the end of a session to keep them going until the next session.

This is similar to a fortune cookie fortune, but in a therapeutic concept utilizing affirmations. It also has less calories than the fortune cookie.

Materials:

Jar

Ready Made Affirmation Cards that fit into the jar

Directions:

1. Make up several different affirmation cards with different statements that would pertain to any client (See Examples Below).

2. Cut out the affirmation cards after you have printed them on colorful paper.

3. Place the affirmation cards in a jar. Fill the jar to the top with the affirmation cards.

4. When a client leaves the session offer a trip to the affirmation jar for a card.

5. Have the client read the affirmation card to you and process how the card related to the session.

6. In most cases the affirmation card will help the client leave the session on a positive note.
