Quick Overview

A world of real conversations for real girls. A set of cards for building conversations with girls from age 10, and women of any age.

Product Description

This set of cards is designed to help adolescent girls experience healthy self-esteem and a positive relationship with their own body. It is also designed to help develop girls' personal awareness of how women are represented by the media, advertising and stereotypes so that they can enjoy a healthy and positive attitude towards their own maturing body.

The 70 cards in the Girltopia set present a world of luscious plants, soulful animals and quirky architecture where girls and women are honoured for who they are and where they're at. They aim to create a space where the risky edges of conversation and feelings can be explored in a lively and supported manner. After all, a girl's life is very often a great adventure! The Girltopia cards naturally offer prompts for conversations on topics like 'Who I am?' and 'Who are We?' and 'How can I feel at ease in my own body?'. There are five suits in the Girltopia card set:

Me (8 cards): The ME suit draws on the power of telling stories. Using simple sentence starters and delightful design, participants are invited to tell stories about themselves and to hear those of others. In telling our stories we communicate our sense of who we are, where we are from, and how we are similar to, and different from, those around us.

Doing (11 cards). The DOING cards are intended to draw out conversations with girls about their actions and activities. In seeing themselves as active, with the power to choose and create, girls can build an appreciation of their own skills, preferences and individuality, as well as those of others.

Feeling (21 cards). The FEELING cards are designed to foster emotional intelligence, assisting girls to name, communicate and consciously navigate feelings. As this awareness grows, girls have more choice about how they want to respond and the outcomes they want to achieve.

Body (17 cards). The BODY suit cards create opportunities for girls to deepen their understanding and appreciation of their changing female bodies - through questions, conversations and sharing experiences. (Please be aware that the Body cards are designed to invite quite explicit discussions of women's sexual anatomy. These cards can, however, be easily put aside in contexts where they are not required.)

Us (13 cards). The US suit cards are designed to prompt thought, discussion and exploration about girls’ social life and relationships. Through questions and other conversational prompts girls are able to explore many of these complex and potent arenas, sharing wisdom and developing understanding and strategies, often before tricky social situations arise.
