Congratulations to the Hidden Treasure of Assets Boardgame – Stacy, comment #33 and Jenny Up-the-Hill, #24
The Hidden Treasure of Assets is a game that teaches the 40 Developmental Assets and the consequences of risky behaviors in a fun, easy-to-use, board game format. My husband and I invented this game and have distributed it internationally since 2001. It’s so rewarding to facilitate this game with students, or to listen to the parents and educators who use it to generate discussion with kids. It’s really fun, and sends powerful messages at the same time.
If you’d like to be considered for the contest, please click over to the website and read the sample game cards. There are two links to the left of the game photo. Then come back here and leave a comment describing your favorite sample card. You can participate even if you don’t have a blog. Just make sure you leave a working email when you leave your comment. I’ll choose the winner at random after 9 p.m. CST on Friday, April 25. Thanks for participating!
I host regular giveaways for parents and educators. Please consider signing up for updates by email or feed. I will never spam you or give out your address.

This would be a great game to use with my church youth group! What a good idea. I like the integrity card that asks if the player feels strongly about an issue and has ever spoken out about it. This is a great way to get teens thinking about important issues and to build their self-esteem.
10:48 am
I like the integrity card. It is important that we teach our kids that it’s ok to speak out when something bothers them or s on their mind.
11:23 am
I like the Financial Aid card in the Grade 7-12. I work at a college and know new students need help to navigate the admissions and financial aid process.
8:20 pm
What a wonderful game idea you have! This could be utilized in our home or in the Junior High Sunday School class. I like the
Grades 7-12 Level II cards. Please enter me in your game drawing. I appreciate it. Thanks,Cindi
10:01 pm
I think the card about laughing at an offensive joke even though you didn’t agree with it would be a great discussion starter.
10:27 pm
I liked the card that described a situation where the player picked on a boy because he was different, and in the game you would have to take 3 steps back or something. It teaches kids that you have to be accepting of others. Great giveaway, thanks!
10:47 pm
I liked the integrity card…any way to help get the message across to our kids is a good idea!
10:48 pm
I liked the conflict resolution card for the older kids and the helmet one for the younger. If I were to win I could make better use of the younger set at tis time. Great idea and good work in following it through.
12:17 am
Your best friend chose to walk away from a stranger.
1:17 am
Oh, I like this game.
I liked the “You & your friend worked together to understand your social studies homework” from grades 3-6. Thanks for the chance to win this.
6:57 am
Name one adult the cares about you…love it..I am a teacher and parent of a 6th grader..thanks
7:30 am
The card where they would lose tokens for slacking off. Great lesson to be learned!
9:30 am
Though I am a mommy blogger I am also actively involved (as a volunteer) in a youth drug prevention organization here in my community. They run summer leadership camps as well as working with an ongoing group of high school students. I have been looking at this game for a while now, because we use the 40 D.A. all of the time in what we do and are trying to become research-based. Anyway, if I won this, I would donate it to the local organization for them to use with the awesome youth that they work with — I think it would be a wonderful way to “give back”.
Oh, and my personal favorite is the one about attending a financial aid seminar with parents to learn about applying for financial aid. It is never too early to learn about financial responsibility because I was completely clueless when I went to college and suffered due to my “trial by fire” experience. That’s a great lesson to be learned!
Whew! Sorry about the long comment — I’m just so excited about this wonderful giveaway!
12:01 pm
My favorite card is in Grade 7-12 and is the Integrity card.
12:45 pm
I like the 7-12 Integrity card: “Thing of an issue you have strong feeling about- something that bothers you. Have you ever felt like speaking out about it? What would you say?”
Great opportunity for family discussion!
4:04 pm
I don’t really have a favorite. I loved all the cards in the grade 3 – 6 section, especially the one about a friend walking away from a stranger.
7:57 pm
“Slacking off on a career unit because you don’t think it will affect your grade.”

Your best friend chose to walk away from a stranger!
Great game!
8:12 am
I love this game! My favorite card for my grade level (I teach 5th grade) would be the Cultural Competence card. (It was about picking on the new boy in class because he has a different skin color)
8:47 am
this is great… i liked… name one adult that cares about you.. i think these cards also force a child to analyze their current life and situations, a great platform also for parents to converse with their children on certain subjects… did i say i thought this was great?

I liked the red card which asked you to look back on your life…
Thanks for the neat giveaway. I’ve made board games for our own use…they take a lot of time to plan and produce so I’m impressed that you all have put this board game together and are selling it! Very neat!
7:10 pm
Wow, that’s great you guys came up with this. I love the whole idea and would love to be entered into your contest.
I liked the card about picking on the boy with a different skin color and it’s consequence.
10:53 pm
Interesting game…….your friend walked away from a stranger. It is a good lesson to learn.
6:44 am
I like the one that teaches people about how they should’nt be prejudice. So much of this still goes on and it is sad.
8:00 am
Name one adult who cares about you!
9:22 am
I like the card Name one adult who cares about you! Neat game!!
9:35 am
I like the “caught smoking in your room” card from the up to 6th grade set. I have two children (grade 3 and grade 5). My daughter won the school’s essay contest for their D.A.R.E program and she wrote all about the dangers of smoking and drugs. I would like to think she fully knows the ramifications of smoking.
This is an OUTSTANDING game!!!! I have your site bookmarked.
10:27 am
I would like to win, count me in too please!
11:04 am
I love the one about attending a financial aid seminar with your parents. This game would be great to give to my brother and sister that are both just in the early stages of high school!
11:21 am
I work with Young Women ages 12-13 at church. I think they would really love this game. The integrity card is my fav! What a great way to get the girls talking about issues they come across everyday and how to stand up for what they believe. Cool Game!
11:49 am
I’ve never seen anything like this. What a great game. Thanks
12:23 pm
I loved all of the cards in the gr 3-6 section. They are great conversation starters. “Your friend chose to walk away from a stranger/Positive peer influence” was one of my favs b/c it is a great example of how a child can positively influence his/her peers! Thanks for the opportunity to win this!!
12:41 pm
I liked the one about playing after homework is done.
3:02 pm
My favorite card in the 3-6 grade set is “Describe Your Proudest Moment.” I like questions that get kids talking about things.
4:07 pm
I especially love the integrity card in the 3-6 grade set, about copying homework. This seems like a very fun way to teach moral values to my kids.
4:16 pm
I like the one asking the child to name an adult who loves them.
5:22 pm
nice
7:13 pm
Grade 3-3 cards.
8:20 pm
I think the card that asks the child to name an adult who loves them is really great!
9:23 pm
I love the your friends are slacking off in their career card.

I love the card where “you and a partner slacked off.” Not only is the person with the card penalized, but also an unsuspecting player. This card reminds me that in life things aren’t always fair. Also, it affirms that who we decide to “partner” with truly is crucial to our success!
9:36 pm
Great cards! Especially the one where the partners are punished for “slacking off.” Sometimes life just isn’t fair, and sometimes our partners determine our destiny!
10:57 pm
a very good game
I liked the card where the child has to name some one who loves tham
6:47 am
[...] Hidden Treasure of Assets Board Game Giveaway…This is very neat game that focuses on character traits…both good and bad! [...]
9:58 am
This sounds like a great game! I would love to use it in my classroom!
10:31 am
I like the who influences you (personal power) card at the 7-12 level. This game would be great for the youth group.
10:40 am
Cool game…I like the integrity card.
12:47 pm
I liked all the cards in the 3-6th grade. I liked that it really makes you think and that their is a consequence for every decision that you make.
1:07 pm
I like “Name one adult who cares about you”. I would love to do this game with my students. I teach ESL overseas and I always look for stuff that fosters “hanging out” and friendships.
4:22 pm
Such a neat game with many applications! The card I saw that I liked best was about “Your best friend walked away from someone they did not know.”… something we are working on here at home.:)

7:41 pm
I like the financial aid card. I have twins looking at colleges and that is right up our alley at this time!
9:24 pm
You and your friend slack off on the career unit because you don’t think it will affect your grade. I snicker to myself as I read this, as one of the children in my daughter’s language arts group phones tonight, because he is running behind on his part of the project that is due tomorrow! Thanks for the chance, I don’t know if both sets of cards come with the game, but if not and I happen to win, I’d like the 7-12 grade version.
10:17 pm
That is such a great game! I like the describe your proudest moment.
11:08 pm
Where was this game when I was growing up? Great idea!
cmj818(at)hotmail.com
7:58 am
I really liked all of the cards, but one of my favorites was the 7-12 personal power card: “Who influences your decisions? Who do YOU influence?”
9:34 am
I liked the card about the offensive joke and laughing about it. It would be wonderful if our children could have the strength of integrity not to “go along with the crowd” on things like that (and other things also of course!)
I only read the 3rd grade cards since my girls are from 2nd grade and younger…but later I want to go back and read the rest!
Fun and Empowering Game! Way cool!
9:40 am
‘Name one adult that cares about you’.
Thanks for the chance to win!

10:27 am
I like the “Integrity” card in the older children cards! Thanks for offering this!
12:05 pm
i liked the “name one adult that cares about you” card. what a great way to help kids think about choices!
12:45 pm
I read the “Your Best Friend Chose to walk away from a stranger” card – - this looks like a GREAT game. Thanks for the giveaway.
1:41 pm
I like the card that has a child name an adult that cares about you. Sometimes kids don’t always think about that. Thanks!
6:43 pm
I like:
You & your friends slack off on the career unit because you don’t think it will effect your grade very much.
This game sounds like a good one. I’m trying to find ways to teach my teens responsibility and cause and effect. I will be bookmarking your site, in case I don’t win.
7:40 pm
I like the 3-6 cards I think they are perfect for teaching kids lessons that many kids today miss out on learnig! Thanks for the great giveaway!
8:05 pm
This looks like a great game, I like the cards about integrity.
8:49 pm
That’s a great game! I liked the card about integrity–I think kids (and adults) need all the encouragement they can get to speak up when there’s something important to say. It’s much easier to stay quiet sometimes, but it isn’t always the right thing to do.
10:26 pm
I like your 3-6 cards. They really need to learn about this early in life not just when the teens hit.
2:35 pm
If I got it right, I like the decision influence card.
5:53 pm
I love this game! I have two step daughters (one of them pre-teen). This would be perfect for opening up the lines of communication. I love the smoking card. It requires you to promise to never smoke or give up a healthly pawn for one with black lungs.
10:17 pm
“Name one adult who cares about you”.
This looks like an interesting game.
11:02 pm
I like the integrity card, about something you feel strongly about and what would you say. I’ve never heard of this game before! I’d love to win!
1:06 am
I have six children and this would be a great game for the family. I like the offensive joke card.
7:07 am
What a cool game. I like name an adult that cares for you.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I like the card that asks teenagers to discuss something they feel strongly about. Great game!
8:53 am
What a great game. I like the card that says “name one adult that cares about you” I think it is important that kids know that someone cares!!!
