Two elementary school students, both in grade three, were recruited for this case study. Each student participated in a series of 40-minute weekly session for a total of 12 and 13 sessions respectively. This research adopts a discovery-oriented approach. The results show the themes as well as life styles following four stages: 1.Establishing an egalitarian relationship: Children attempted to explore their environment. The themes came out of this stage were “exploration” and “mastery.” 2.Exploration of lifestyle: Through observation, self-discovery board game, and structured activities, both children began to show a lifestyle centered on the display of power and control. Child A exhibited satisfaction with power and enjoyed games about exploration, gaining control, life events, and mastery. Child B enjoyed games about exploration, gaining control, and aggression. 3.Encouraging insight: Games intended to encourage children to project their internal psychological status and show skills and satisfy need for power were designed for this stage in order to help children relieve emotional stress. Child A enjoyed games relating to emotional relief and cooperation, while Child B enjoyed gaining control and exploration. 4.Re-orientation: Children begin to develop self-awareness and self-evaluation. Both participants showed more interest in games about “emotional relief,” “gaining control.”and“self-evaluation” The implications of the study and suggestions for future practitioners as well as researchers were addressed.
