This Coping with Grief Game, now in digital and printable formats, was designed as a Grief Counseling therapeutic intervention tool. Not only useful for rapport-building and starting meaningful conversations, it is a non-threatening assessment tool and developmentally appropriate way to help young process the hard work of grieving when they lose a loved one. The prompts invite players to reflect on and build coping skills, to express hard-to-talk-about feelings and thoughts about death and loss, and to remember and honor their relationship with the person who has died.

How to Play The Printable Coping with Grief Card Game In the spirit of other popular shedding-type card games, the player to get rid of all their cards first by wins. Players try to "match" the top card in the discard pile, by either laying down the same number, color (or shape, if using the black & white set), or type of action card. If the card contains a question or prompt, that player shares their response. The player may choose to decline responding by using 1 of their 2 Pass Tickets. Actions cards add fun twists and turns to the game. Actions include: ➔ TAKE 3: The next person in line must take 3 cards before taking their turn. ➔ ROTATE RIGHT / ROTATE LEFT: All players pass on, or "rotate," their cards to either the left or right, so that everyone exchanges hands with each other. ➔ GO AGAIN: Player gets to "go again," gaining an additional turn. ➔ FREE!: Player who discards a FREE card is "free" to choose a new color (or shape) for the discard pile and then discard an additional card based on the color (or shape) they changed it to. ➔ FREE + SPY!: Player who discards a FREE+SPY card can spy on one player by peeking at their cards and then is "free" to choose a new color (or shape) for the discard pile and then discard an additional card based on the color (or shape) they changed it to.
