Know Thy Self Adinkra Cards

Adinkra symbols originate from West Africa. They convey traditional African wisdom important to the lives of people from the African diaspora.

Know Thy Self Adinkra Cards were developed by Dr Erica Mapule McInnis, Chartered Clinical Psychologist (UK). They can be used in groups (more than one pack suggested for choice), in pairs, or individually. Uses include: personal development (e.g. affirmations), culturally-informed group icebreakers, party games, or as a rapport-building tool in talking therapy.

Couples and friends can play and discuss their findings. The cards can also be used by children, tweens and teens (e.g. ask them to pick a card, then say why they chose that card). Younger children can pick the shape they like and the meaning can then be explained to them.

Pack size: 50 cards with different symbols.
