Short description
“Angels with Attitude” is a set of 52 exquisitely-illustrated, heart-warming digital cards featuring ‘everyday’ angels. Each card represents an important quality or skill that we may want to celebrate or invite into our family, workplace, classroom and community, such as contentment, peace, assertiveness, clarity, openness, balance or adventure.
Educational value/ Learning Objectives
Angels is based on the understanding that by strengthening our capacity to notice and name the strengths and blessings that come into our day, we strengthen our own capacity to develop and communicate them. In this way we become a more abundant source of those strengths for others and for ourselves.

Tips and Tricks for Facilitators
How to adapt game for different groups, topics, occasions/needs
Cards can be used also as icebreakers, for example, put one card on each chair and let participants find a place to sit according to their mood. Then explain the mood they chose. Instead of mood, there can be any other question connected to the topic.
For increasing creativity. Tell your own stories or fairy tales, by choosing 3 cards. Next person can continue the story with another 3 cars.
You can also draw the story, by putting a card in the center of a big paper. Continue to draw to the right, left, up and down.
