Some Ways to Use CareMail™
Let Their Thoughts be Known — Take the deck of 40 age-appropriate question cards and have each student
or group member pick a card and keep it face down. One by one have each child/teen turn the card over and
answer the question and let his/her thoughts be known.
Take the Challenge — Select the challenge cards from the combination deck. Choose a group of students
to pick a card and read it aloud. The students are given 24 hours to take the challenge and report their
accomplishments.
Getting to Know Them — Ten question cards are selected at random. Each card is revealed one at a time. The
child/teen answers the question based on his/her feelings. The adult writes down what they think the child/teen
will answer. After all ten questions have been answered, reveal your answers and begin getting to know them.
Let Them Know You Care — Pick a partner (Parent/Child, Mentor/Mentee, Counselor/Student, etc.). Read each of
the write-on cards aloud. Answer each question as it relates to your partner. Share your answers and let them
know you care.
Be a Good Listener — Sit in a quiet place with that special child/teen. Let them read and answer the questions
one by one. The adult role is to be a good listener and make the child/teen feel worthy of your time and attention.
Becoming a Hero — Have the child/teen choose five challenge cards. Read all of them aloud. They have seven
days to complete all challenges and write down the results. Watch them become a hero.
Writing Their Way to Happiness — Have the child/teen select a question card. Allow the child/teen to use the
question as the first part of his/her journal entry. This method has been widely used in the classrooms. Watch
them begin writing their way to happiness.
