Exclamations

Directions – This activity can be used as an icebreaker or at any time with the purpose of getting group members to open up, talk, and share. The counselor/group leader should select phrases from the list and open it up to members in the group to share in one or two ways (listed below), related to the phrase selection.

• What is a situation in your past or recent life where you found yourself thinking or saying this phrase?

• (Or) What would be a situation that could come up (realistically) in your life where you could find yourself having this reaction?

The counselor/group leader should ask appropriate process questions in between answers to probe further. Some examples/ideas:

• Could you see this situation happening again in your life?

• What led to the situation? (Or for a future situation: What could end up leading you into that situation?)
