There’s almost six years between my girls, and as they’ve got older, those moments of playing together have become fewer and further between. They used to play together ALL the time, and I really miss that. ❤️
But today, something really lovely happened. 🥹
I’ve been busy creating my very own wellbeing board game for Positive Vibe Tribe, called The Good Vibes Garden 🌸🌿
And today, I finally got to test it out with my two girls, Phoenix (12) and Indiana (6).
And honestly? It was a HUGE hit! 🥰
For the first time in what feels like ages, I watched them properly connect through play again.
We laughed, we chatted, we got creative, and they were genuinely excited every time they got to pick another card!
The game is built around the four Positive Vibe Tribe pillars:
💜 CONNECT – Exploring feelings, kindness and understanding each other.
🎨 CREATE – Drawing emotions, inventing things and letting imaginations run wild.
🌙 VISUALISE – Imagining different situations, exploring possibilities and seeing things in new ways.
🌱 GROW – Trying new things, expressing ourselves and discovering what helps us feel good.
They acted out emotions, described their feelings as different types of weather, drew pictures, imagined magical things and came up with some brilliant ideas!
The creative cards were definitely a favourite! 🎨
But what struck me most was that a six year old and a twelve year old were equally excited, engaged and enjoying themselves.
There was no pressure to get anything right. No competition. Just the freedom to play, imagine, express themselves and connect.
And I got to join in too. ❤️
It reminded me of something I feel so strongly about…
Children don’t always need to sit down and TALK about their feelings to explore them. Sometimes, they just need the opportunity to PLAY.
And sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen when we’re not even trying to make them happen.
Today, I wasn’t just testing a new game.
I was watching my girls reconnect, laugh together and enjoy being little again, even if just for an afternoon.
And that was worth more than any feedback I could have asked for. 🥹💕
The Good Vibes Garden has officially passed its first test! 🌸🌿✨
I created this game to help children connect, create, visualise and grow.
I just didn’t expect its very first players to remind me quite so beautifully why those things matter.
