Play A Number Game - Guess My Multiple


If I were to say the numbers 6, 8, 10, you could see that all of these numbers result from another number multiplied by 2 (3,4,5).  Take turns challenging each other to guess the multiple for three number that you name. 

If you are playing with advanced learners, the game can be more challenging if you name numbers that are non-sequential.  The above example could also use the numbers 48, 76, and 108 (24, 38,54).

Learned Optimism - You Can Be Happier


Also called positive self talk, learned optimism is the practice of catching yourself thinking negative thoughts and then changing the thought to something more positive.

  • If I ask a question, everyone is going to think I'm dumb.
  • I can't be the only one who is confused. 


  • All this traffic!  Walking in late for the meeting will be a disaster!
  • Well, I'm stuck in traffic, nothing I can do about it.  I'll call work and let them know about the delay.  Now, I'll just mentally go over my presentation one more time.
