NEW Personal Development Thumballs have joined the existing ranges of the game that gets everybody talking!
THUMBALLS
Play Catch........Look Under Your Thumb........React!
Thumball is more than a simple ball, it's an educational toy; a fun family game; a party conversation booster; a personal motivational tool; an effective training tool; a therapists tool; the list goes on because whenever you need it.....one catch will start a conversation!
To play Thumball pass it, roll it or toss it and when the leader says "stop" the player with the Thumball in their hand simply lifts their right thumb off and responds to that panel. You can answer the question or ask each other or even predict another player's answer. Think creatively......the possibilities are endless!
The response is based on the type of Thumball and the player's skill level. Every age and any ability can play. It's safe and easy to throw & catch in any setting.
Thumballs are enjoyed in schools, homes, offices, therapy sessions, during presentations and for marketing. They are perfect to take to a party or a family reunion, or for the 'rainy' days on holiday!
Teachers and educators tell us Thumballs increase motivation and help students retain facts. Every Thumball design promotes essential skills including phonemic awareness; question formation; emotional intelligence; social skills; visual perception; maths functions and pronounciation. It is ideal for those with learning challenges including Austism, Asperger's Syndrome, language delays or disorders and anyone learning a second language.
During a recent review of Thumballs, Mike Fleetham from the Thinking Classroom (
www.thinkingclassroom.co.uk) said;
"Thumballs combine kinaesthetic, social and thinking skills in a way that motivates individuals and large groups alike."
Brain development research indicates we learn and retain more when actively doing something as opposed to only reading about it or listening to it. The focused attention Thumball receives is because it is a ball. Everyone associates a ball with play, fun and group interaction.
While in 'play mode' the brain is alerted for fun and action. If we allow the brain time to focus in a novel way - we get improved performance - and the cooperation necessary when playing in a group expands the social awareness of players. Thumball promotes use of eye contact, polite forms and turn taking skills.
Thumballs are designed for you to use your own creativity in deciding how to play. However, we are compiling pdf downloads for every ball with tips 'n' techniques for game ideas. If you have purchased a Thumball from us and would like to know more about the pdf downloads, please contact us with the name of the ball you would like to know about.
