PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING AND THERAPEUTIC BOARD GAME APPARATUS

摘要

A game includes a stimulus board having a number of emotionally significant words arranged thereon. Lettered playing pieces are employed to permit players to complete words on the board and thus receive an intermediate reward. The word completed is used as a jumping off point for storytelling, answering questions about the story told and dramatizing the story told. All of these additional steps in the game provide additional intermediate rewards. White squares and white playing pieces permit undirected storytelling. Gold playing pieces and gold squares require the selection of one of a series of cards that provide a very directed type of storytelling. Intermediate rewards during the game and more concrete rewards at the end of the game enhance the game feature and provide an incentive for storytelling and fantasizing.
