Lessons of a LAC Thumball
A very fun way to reinforce the messages of the whole program. Throw the ball, someone catches it
and looks on which panel their thumb lands. PERFECT for discussing anxiety and worry. PERFECT for
circle and group time. We also use a ball to illustrate when we think certain thoughts over and over
again, we feel their counterpart feelings. Basic instructions are: what we hold onto we feel. Say a
scenario (that is a LOPPY way of thinking), e.g., I don’t want to go to soccer today because I never
score goals. Throw the ball to someone and say: if you held onto this feeling, how would you feel?
Then say: You have a choice. Would you choose to hold onto this thought and feel this way to throw
it away? If they choose to throw the ball away, throw the ball again to them and say another
scenario (that is a CURLY way of thinking), e.g., you never know, today might be the day I get a goal.
If you held onto this feeling, how would you feel? This is a strategy we use with kids from year 3 as a
way to really demonstrate the ‘thought-feeling-behaviour’ link.
Finger Puppets
Our Loppy and Curly finger puppets were designed from feedback that kids wanted something little
to put in their pocket or bag to remind them of Loppy and Curly. Using the puppets while asking
things like: what is your Loppy saying to you right now? Helps kids to tune into the way they are
thinking that is leading to the symptoms they are feeling in their body. Likewise, when you are
trying to encourage them to come up with a more helpful way of thinking, you can ask: what can you
curly say to help right now? This is an externalising technique. It is easier for children to consider
what an ‘external’ character might say as opposed to trying to tap into their own thinking style
which is a more abstract ability.
Plushies
Our 35cm Loppy and Curly plushies are the bed buddies of choice for even older children. It has to
do with what Loppy and Curly represent to them – calmness, reassurance, relief from anxiety
feelings. A great use is as the ‘travelling friend’ that many classes offer, but specifically aimed
toward how did Loppy and/or Curly help you with a difficulty while you had him over the weekend?
The plushies can go home with the instructions: notice how Loppy speaks to you this weekend.
Notice what Curly can say to help you to feel better.
Courage Cards
A set of 12 cards that reinforce the messages of Loppy and Curly. Can be put in little pockets or bags
to always feel that Loppy and Curly are with your little one, offering their confidence! It is fun to use
these cards to help work through something your little one is worrying about. For example, write
down and talk about the thing they are worrying about, pull out a courage card and apply it to the
worry and see where it leads. Alternatively, pre-select a card that you know would be appropriate
to shift their thoughts to another, more helpful direction. Possibilities are endless really!
