DEAR PARENTS AND CHILDREN:  • Group activity: Divide the children into groups and ask them to draw a painting together on one


 To continue your fascinating journey and to get to know even more magical   large poster and then talk about it. If one of the children tries to control the entire poster, you
            could introduce them to the Imp of Control, and if one of the children does not try to draw at all,
 powers and imps please see our beautifully designed set of therapy cards.  you could introduce them to the Imp of Lack of Self-Confidence and Self-Diminishment or the Imp

 For more details please go to:  of Alienation. A certain child may think that their friend's drawing is much better than their own.

 www.soulcreaturesland.com  In this case, you may introduce the children to the Imp of Envy and Self-Criticism. This activity is
            also an opportunity to learn about the powers of collaboration, consideration, creativity and more.
            Each group can be given the task of building a tower out of straws or paper cups. This activity can
            be challenging and cause frustration which may invoke many different imps as well as the power
            of creativity, leadership and collaboration. Use this opportunity to implement different techniques
            based on the tools you have as a therapist or educator:
            • Animal assisted therapy – ask the children to clean an animal's cage or build a playground or a
            hamster habitat and see which imps or magical powers emerge during the activity.
            • Music therapy – ask the children to play various instruments together with one rule:
            when one child stops playing, the next one begins. This activity may spur arguments regarding the
            chosen instrument, the need to wait patiently, be considerate of others or learn to claim one's
            place and rights.
            • Drama therapy – have the children come up with a play, assign roles, design a set, etc. Each child's
            behavior reveals which imps tried to control them or which magical powers they chose to use.
