These playing cards came out of a situation with a young person who would only ever open up in a mentoring situation when there was a card game involved. It seemed obvious that to put questions onto the playing cards would be a perfect solution for this particular young person to open up about different areas of her life, and so this is our way of passing on an idea that has worked in lots of different settings in schools including:
• Group work
• Mentoring sessions
• Card tricks to use in the playground/dining hall
• Card games in a lunchtime or after school club
• If you need to fill a few minutes at the end of a lesson you’re taking, have some cards with you and divide up some appropriate questions between the students for them to discuss in groups
In all of these settings and more, discussion naturally flows from the questions that appear, whether it’s through a favourite card game, a trick, or just taking a card from the pack and seeing what happens. The questions are divided into four categroies which correspond with the four different playing card suits:
DIAMONDS: questions about you
SPADES: questions about others
HEARTS: questions about the world
CLUBS: questions about beliefs.

UPDATE: The secondary age group cards (for 11-19 year olds) are back in stock and are available to purchase as of today, Monday 8th March. There may be a slight delay as we process all the orders that are on the waiting list, but the cards should arrive within a week or so of your order.
We are also in the process of designing another set of playing cards more suitable for 7-11 year olds. Although we have had positive feedback about using the existing cards with younger children, we felt that it was worth developing a set of cards with simpler language, age appropriate questions and an easier to read design. If you would like to register your interest and add your name to a waiting list for the primary age group cards please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
The cost of these cards will be just £5 including postage and packing. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to call on 01582 748964 or email. Thanks.
