What Girls are saying about The World's Kindest Playing Cards™

"Our experience with The World's Kindest Playing Cards was great! They worked out really well for us. This summer the cards helped reduce the incidents of emotional bullying with the girls. We used the cards for self-directed free time activities and gave them as general supplies when the girls arrived. We used the GIANT size deck with your programming book for interest groups and creative card games. They are learning life skills that will really help them grow and develop morals that the parents are already looking for." We use your pens as prizes that that have meaning. “Definitely a 10…THESE ARE FABULOUS”

The activities from the programming book, Give Teamwork . Get Results™ provide facilitators with opportunities to recognize when girls achieve their “15 leadership indicators.” They also engage girls in important conversation points in a non-cumbersome way.

It is a great complement to the “New Girl Leadership Experience” because:

  1. They create comfortable spaces where girls can share openly and speak publicly
  2. It helps them discover new insights and elevates the girls' personal and societal level of understanding
  3. GivaGeta Team Building enables girls to connect with each other in a fun-filled subtle way and take action in sharing their values and experiences with one another
  4. They focus on ethical, compassionate leadership principles

The World's Kindest Playing Cards™ help create teachable moments with questions such as, "What do these values mean to the girls? Who exemplifies them and how? GivaGeta Smiles makes it easier for girls to discover, connect and take action to create leaders who can help make the world a better place.

“GivaGeta gets kids to recognize these characteristics and then vocalize them. It makes it fun, adding smiles, while teaching character development. GivaGeta is an all-around win-win.”

PEER MEDIATION WITHOUT VIOLENCE...Below is a true story of peer mediation and conflict resolution without violence using a $4.99 deck of The World's Kindest Playing Cards by GivaGeta Smiles. Learn more about them.

The handwritten note shown to the left is a heartwarming example of how and where GivaGeta is Goin’ On. We transcribed it below.

“We had a ‘pow wow’ cause we were having problems with other people in our group and when we were done with our ‘pow wow,’ Linda got out her give a getta [The World’s Kindest Playing Cards by GivaGeta Smiles] and she had us pick one card out of the deck and read what it said, then had us do it [give an example of what was on the card]. By the time we were done, we resolved our problems and were closer. It’s good for all ages because it helps them resolve issues w/o violence.”
