Go Fish: Anchor Your Stress™ provides players with the skills needed to help manage stress and anxiety.  This game helps children deal with anxiety-provoking situations.  It also provides practical thinking skills that include self-talk, coping mechanisms and relaxation techniques.

Kids have always loved to play the popular card game, Go Fish.  At Franklin Learning Systems, we've developed our own version of Go Fish to help improve social and emotional skills in many areas. 

Play-2-Learn Go Fish card games play like classic Go Fish. There are two decks of 50 cards in each game – one for grades K-2 and the other for grades 3-5. The games differ from classic go fish in that players must answer a question before they can accept a requested card.  Instead of the usual number and picture cards, the cards have fun pictures of fish and fish names. For example, a player may ask, “Do you have any Henry Herrings?”  If the player receives a Henry Herring card, the player reads the question on the card aloud and answers it.  All questions are open ended.  If the player did not have any Henry Herrings, the player would say, “go fish,” and then the first player would take a card from the “ocean” (extra cards in the center of the table).  Each game also comes with a rules sheet and facilitator guidelines.
