Remember, Together Activity: Spike’s Moving Through Grief Game
Objective: This game reinforces concepts from Eluna’s Remember, Together Cards, including common grief reactions, coping strategies, and continued-connection activities. By using the conversation cards in a playful, interactive format, participants revisit key ideas while practicing how to apply them in their own lives. The game’s structure encourages engagement and repetition, helping youth build confidence in using these skills during real-life grief experiences.
Instructions:
Important – This game is designed to be used to review and reinforce concepts previously explored in Eluna’s Remember, Together Cards. Once the card content has been shared, follow the instructions below.
- Print and consider laminating the associated gameboard for Spike’s Moving Through Grief Game.
- Utilize a coin to facilitate turn taking. If the coin lands on heads, the player moves the pawn one space, if tails, two spaces.
- Everyone gets an opportunity to answer.
- Be sure to incorporate the “Right to Pass” which allows a participant to opt out of answering a particular question as a means of promoting emotional safety, autonomy and trust.
Supplies:
- Eluna’s Remember, Together Cards
- Spike’s Moving Through Grief Game
- Coin
- Simple game pawn(s)
Considerations:
- Giving everyone the chance to answer each question helps the group feel more connected, highlights shared experiences, and allows a variety of perspectives to emerge.
- It may also be beneficial for the participating adult to “model” how to answer questions.
This activity was created by Kelly Petersohn from Camp Erin Online to accompany Eluna’s Remember, Together Cards.
