Description

Climer Cards are reflection and processing cards to help groups and individuals move their learning deeper. Processing and reflection is a key component to learning and helps learners remember more for longer. The watercolor paintings evoke deeper conversation and you'll be surprised what users will say. Climer Cards can be used by facilitators, teachers, parents, therapists, camp counselors, and more.

Here is an example of how a facilitator might use Climer Cards:

After the group has completed an activity or experience spreads the cards out so everyone can see the images. Pose a question to the group that is related to the experience and their goals or actions. For instance, you might say, “Select a card that is a symbol of …
– something you learned in this activity OR
– the role you played within the group OR
– an example of how the group met its goals OR
– something you want to remember from this experience and take with you into the next activity.”

The power is in the question posed. So ask a question that works well with metaphors, is related to the group's goals, and will help the group move deeper in their understanding of themselves, each other, or the topic.

Once everyone has selected a card, invite each person to share which card they chose and why. Allow participants to select the same cards as others because you often get very different interpretations.

Other uses include:
parents can use the cards with their kids as conversation starters over dinner,
social workers and counselors can use them with clients to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, teachers can help students create connections in class.
