To start the game, players place a Worried Waters raging river sheet in front of them. Then they choose a Problem Card that describes an anxiety-producing situation. Players decide which strategy by choosing a Solution Card that include:  Self-Talk Cards;Relaxation Cards; or Coping Cards.  When the situation has been successfully solved, the player then tosses the Problem Card into the “Worried Waters”, and the Solution Card is used to create a bridge. The object of the game is to build a bridge that carries the player across the “Worried Waters” to the safety of the other bank by successfully using the CBT techniques they have learned in the Solution cards. There are both competitive and cooperative versions for 2-5 players. Playing Time:  Flexible from 25 minutes to 50 minutes.  
Players: 2-5, Grades 1-8
