Have you tried Wikki Stix? How did it work? What did you do?

	Activity I: Goal Setting
		Objective:	Clear goals motivate, validate, and educate.
		Activity:	Define "goals" including the ideas that goals can be reached and that you can measure, or know, when that happens. Have each person illustrate a goal (for self, team, family, or child) by creating an image on the wikki-board. Ask each person to share their image with another member or the entire group.
		Follow-Up	This can lead to discussion of common goals, realistic steps for accomplishment, etc. It can also precede a writing exercise.

	Activity II: Inner/Outer Feelings
		Objective:	People often have more than one strong feeling at one time or for one reason. Children, especially, are often unaware that this is normal and may try to deny one or shut down in confusion.
		Activity:	Have each person think of a time when they had strong mixed feelings about an event. (i.e. their first overnight stay at a friend's home -- excited/scared; a job interview -- confident/nervous) Divide the whiteboard in half and depict both . Remind everyone that their feelings can be illustrated concretely or expressed abstractly with color and form.
		Follow-Up	Discuss the feelings of conflict. Are the feelings really in conflict? What do you do when they are? Invite group members to offer similar experiences or advice.

	Activity III: Emotional Temperature
		Objective:	When facilitating a small group discussion, or an individual counseling session, it is helpful to assess the affective state of participants.
		Activity:	Have each person (including the facilitator) "draw" their emotional state using Wikki Stix. Share the images and have each person give their "emotional temperature," rating it on a scale of 1-10.
		Follow-Up	Group members can ask clarifying questions, give support, or offer suggestions, etc. Meaningful, timely dialogue is generated.
