HEALTHY: Sue Turner shows off All Right’s new card game,
which encourages kids to talk about their emotions. ​
Game to benefit mental health
THE ALL Right campaign is
launching a new resource to help
kids identify and manage their
emotions.
The Chitter Chatter card game
is now available at Christchurch
libraries and is designed to get
families together and talking
about emotions, empathy and
managing worries.
Each pack of the card game,
designed for 5-12-year-olds,
contains 40 challenges that can
be applied to one of 14 emotions.
Chitter Chatter scenarios include
explaining an emotion to an alien,
imagining a world where a certain
feeling doesn’t exist and acting
out emotions in slow motion.
All Right manager Sue Turner
said Chitter Chatter helps make
it normal and fun for families to
talk about emotions.
“Talking about how we’re feeling,
recognising a wide range of
emotions and learning how to
work with them all help us build
resilience and live more enjoyable
lives.
“As parents, we all have good
intentions to spend meaningful
time with our kids, but we don’t
always have a lot of time. Playing
Chitter Chatter for as little as five
minutes a week is a small thing
that can make a big difference,”
said Ms Turner.
Chitter Chatter packs
can be picked up for free at
Christchurch libraries for a
limited time, or ordered from
anywhere in New Zealand for a
small cost at www.allright.org.

COMPETITIVE: The Woolston Boxing Club came away with a
gold and three silver medals at the Southland championships
at Gore. ​
SPORT
THE WOOLSTON Boxing Club
have ended their 2019 campaign
with one gold and three silver
medals at the Southland
championships in Gore.
National champion Ryley
Sutherland won gold in the
under-52kg cadet class to cap a
big year.
Philippa White in the under-
80kg elite, James Stokes in the
under-81kg novice and Trevor
Swainson in the elite 91kg
and over class all finished as
runners-up.
Sutherland’s performance
earned him star of the tournament
honours while Swainson
was named legend of the tournament,
Coach Holly Sullivan said the
team had a mix of youth and
experience.
“Ryley had a great fight and
had to really work for the win,”
she said. “He’s a very tall, lean
boxer but he is able to shortenup
his punches well and he used
the little bit of extra experience
to get the win.”
Sullivan said Swainson was
unlucky not to win on points
after he stepped-up two weight
classes to take a fight.
“Trev always loses the
first round, every time,” she
said.
“But I felt he did enough to
win the second and was dominant
in the third round.
“The judges didn’t see it that
way and that’s boxing.”
Stokes returned for his first
fight since a fractured eye socket
in March.
“He loves the sport and is
keen to give it a go but he is
inexperienced and just needs
ring-time.
White was fighting in her
home town but was not able to
get the win.
“I was really impressed with
her fitness levels and it was a
bout that could have gone either
way,” Sullivan said.
The boxers will now have
a strength and conditioning
regime over the next two
months before the competitions
begin again in February.
