I was recently introduced to a product that I think is not only great for kids, but is a great conversation starter for anyone. What is Thumball? Click here to read more.
- Thumball™ is a fun new game and media form used for education, entertainment, or promotion.
- Toss it. Catch it. React to the stimuli under your thumb (or any finger specified).
- The response is based on the type of Thumball™ and, the player’s skill level.
- 18 designs in 4 or 6 inch diameters having 12 or 32 panels.
- Each panel has a word, graphic, photo, or logo relating to a specific subject printed on it.
- Thumball gets everybody talking and interacting with ease in a positive social way.
- Every age and any ability level can play. Thumball™ is safe and easy to throw & catch in any setting.
- Enjoyed in schools, homes, offices, therapy sessions, during presentations and for marketing.
- Perfect to take in the car, to a party, on vacation, at the game, during camp and for family reunions.
- No need to inflate, no parts to lose and no batteries to buy.
So far, I have seen the Thumball create fun and smiles, but has also been helping our 4 year old learn to listen better and follow directions. The Thumball lets you toss the ball at another (not in the head. 
) but you toss it at someone and where their thumbs land on the ball, they do or say whatever is in that area. Example: I toss the “Shapes” ball at Tucker and he looks where his thumb landed and tells me what shape it is. We spice it up a bit and we have him say what color it is, and even what item near him in our home or in our yard, has that same shape. Thumball really helps spark the mind and get it flowing with ideas.
Not only can you use Thumball as a learning tool for kids, but if you own a business and would like to pick the brains of your sales force, why not have a meeting next time and toss the Thumball at one of your sales members and see what they have to say. Maybe you want to get information or teach more about sales or about the product you are selling. Corporations use Thumball™ as a training tool, team builder and promotional giveaways.
You can use the Thumball for so many things including:
- Stimulate Conversation
- Improve Social Interactions
- Prompt Focused Participation
- Adapt to infinite variations
- Develop Communication Skills
- Link Learning and Play
- Bring Classrooms Alive
- Bond Families
- Train Employees
- Boost Sales
We received three Thumballs and we love each one!
Shapes: This thumball has shapes all around the ball, in different colors. Toss and learn more about shapes, colors and more!
Who are you: These include things like: Paddle a canoe, Kick a goal and cheer and row row row your boat. This one reminds me a lot of charades. Tons of fun!
Move your body: This one is so much fun! Sections include: Funniest cartoon, The most summer fun and more!
I really love the overall meaning of Thumball, what it can do for you and all the different Thumballs that are available. Not only is this good for helping to open communication, but it is a great learning tool for just about anyone at any age!
