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 say The Empathy Card Game is easy to use, educational and fun—especially with children, teens, families and in therapy. Acting/impersonation cards and group play spark discussion, laughter and self-awareness. Some reviewers found instructions unclear, felt it’s less engaging in pairs, or recommended using it after players know one another.
