What shall we talk about today?

How it works

You see sixteen tiles, each with a picture and a word: Housing, Money, Letters and paperwork, Work or school, Appointments, Health, Sleep, Food, Feelings, Stress, Family, Friends, Free time, Safety, Something fun and Something else. What you tap goes onto a card with today’s date. That card is the agenda for the conversation: what you will talk about today, and in what order.

1. Choose the topics you want to talk about today. If something is not there, write it yourself: it becomes an extra tile.
2. Put the topics in order. Each topic on the card has the buttons Up, Down and Remove.
3. Choose where you want to start, with This first. That topic goes to the top and gets a flag. It stays there until you press This first again.
4. Put the card on the table: show it large on the screen, or print it. Then you see only the topics, without buttons.
5. After the conversation, choose Start again. Then the card is empty for the next conversation.

If you are getting help

• You do not have to talk about everything. Choose what matters to you now.
• Do you want to talk about something, but not write it down? Then choose Something else. You can say what it is in the conversation.
• Finding reading hard? Point at the pictures. The word is always there too.

If you are giving help

• Let the other person choose first. Only then add your own topics, and say why you want to talk about them.
• Ask where the other person wants to start. It does not have to be the biggest topic.
• Can you not get through everything? Look together at what is left. Print the card and give it to the other person to take home. Then you both know what can go at the top next time.

On paper

Print this page without choosing anything. Then you get an empty card with lines. Write the topics on it, and put a star next to what comes first.
