What People Are Saying

Testimonials

"Thumball™ is an educational and therapeutic game that is also fun. When has so little done so much for so many?!" Lynn, RN, B.S., MPA School Nurse, NJ

"It really is our son's favorite toy. We play for hours and always think of something new to try. Thumball gets our family laughing and thinking." Melissa, Cream Ridge, NJ

"I work with teenage students instructing employability skills. Today's generation has the best of technology but lacks and suffers from social and communication skills in relationships (friends, family, co-workers, classmates). The Emotion, Who Are You, Ice Breaker, Letter Mania Thumballs have moved mountains bringing a group together to share, listen, and reflect."
Trena, teenage counselor, MI

"I love it! It is a great ice breaker. All business trainers should use Thumball."
Troy Waldrup, Senior Regional Admissions Director

"We use Thumball all the time. We find it's a good way to process information and inspire creative thinking with our staff and students."
Russell, Universal Technical Institute

“Last week we began using the balls at an employee conference. They are a big hit, and they look great. I am so glad that we did the customization. Thanks for your hard work to make this a success.”
Mark Saine, TIAA-CREF, Talent Acquisition and Development

"I bought some Thumballs for work with my elementary school students. My husband, who usually doesn't like to play 'party games' fell in love and insisted on everyone playing Thumball at his 37th birthday party! The icebreaker ball was such a hit that our friends stole the ball to take as a hostess gift to their next party."
Katy, Audbon, NJ

"We started our Bible Camp this year with the Who Are You Thumball and it was great. Everyone wanted a turn and was getting to know each other in no time. I will keep using it all summer long."
Kelly, Columbus, NJ

Perfect for all ages and abilities. Ideal activity for those with learning challenges including Autism, Asperger’s syndrome, language delays or disorders and anyone learning a second language.

Allow the brain time to focus in a novel way and you get improved performance. While in “play mode” the brain is alerted for fun and action
A brain in a positive state of arousal is more ready to receive and process information.
Brain development research indicates we learn and retain more when actively doing something as opposed to only reading about it or listening to it.
The cooperation necessary when playing in a group expands the social awareness of players and promotes use of eye contact, polite forms and turn taking skills.
