'Stress Management' Thumball

Explore the causes of stress

Look under your thumb and share your reaction to whatever prompt lies beneath it. Thumball is a soft, 6" stuffed ball pre-printed with 12 prompts and loads of interesting applications for meetings, training, and employee relations.

With the Stress Management Thumball, explore the causes of stress and  various ways to manage its impact. Teams can discuss what affects their stress level, how they can help each other out, how they can better manage their own approach to stress, and more.

Facilitation Suggestions

This Thumball contains both prompts that address causes of stress and others that promote discussion and reflection on responses to stress. This is really meant to be a tool to build awareness and enable conversations about stress.

If you want to kick it up a notch, try these creative twists:

1. Ask first recipient to select an answer panel to which all players must respond or contribute.
2. Have players recall the responses of others.
3. Use each answer as a prompt to discuss broader aspects of stress-management including time management techniques, diet, exercise, sleep, ways to say "no", etc.
