Developed by Lawrence E. Shapiro, Ph.D. Children who understand how other people think and feel act more appropriately and enjoy richer social relationships. This card game helps players recognize the importance of empathy, a central component of emotional intelligence.
As children try to read other players' nonverbal cues and guess how they've responded to Question Cards, they practice this skill in a fun way. Compassion, understanding, and acceptance - all in one game!

Customers describe this as a fun, effective tool for teaching empathy and self-awareness with kids, teens, and even adults. The acting/impersonation cards are often mentioned as especially engaging and good for discussion in therapy or group settings. Some found the rules a bit unclear and suggested it works better in larger groups than in pairs, and one reviewer advises using it after you know clients well.
