Friendship Thumball

Thumball is a soft stuffed ball to throw, roll, or pass in a circle or randomly. Catch it! Look under your thumb. Respond to the prompt. Kids absolutely love this interactive tool that will get them talking and sharing. Without even knowing it, you will be encouraging the use of interpersonal skills including taking turns, eye contact, listening, responding, valuing similarities and respecting individual differences. There are 32 panels for each 4″-6″ stuffed poly-cotton ball.

Players read and respond to prompts related to good and bad friendships, friendship building skills, examples of different types of friendships, how friends can be helpful to themselves and others, “do’s” and “don’ts” of good friendships, and more.
