Jabbers Goals n Dreams

• From The Riot! (www.theriotrocks.org)
• Dreams n Goals Jabbers helps people to think
  about their life and develop life goals. After
  playing the game, participants will have a better
  idea of the kinds of dreams and goals they have
  and which ones they want to work on.

11

• How do we play?
• Each player gets a game card that shows 20
  colorful icons within numbered boxes.
• Write in a goal in the blank box.
• Jabber away while discussing each topic.
• Decide if the topic represents a goal or dream in
  your life if it does, put an X in the circle!
• At the end of the game each player has Xd
  circles on their game card where
• they felt they have a dream or a goal.
• What happens after?
• Now players can think about their dreams
  and goals and pick one or more that they want to
  work on. They may need help talking it all
  through and deciding on what they want to focus
  on. Afterwards, they can develop an action plan
  to work at it.
