Recognise and understand emotions – an educational game for children

Recognise and understand emotions – this absorbing game helps children get to know and understand human emotions – from joy to sadness, from surprise to anger. Children learn to recognise feelings from facial expressions, to talk about what they feel themselves and to understand other people’s emotions.

The game encourages emotional intelligence, empathy and communication skills – a brilliant tool at home as well as in the nursery or school.

🧩 How to play:

In the set you will find 10 different emotions, each shown at 3 levels (from easy to more difficult). Children study the cards, compare the facial expressions and learn to name the emotions – “sad”, “angry”, “surprised” and so on.

The game can be adapted in all sorts of ways – in pairs, in a group or one to one, to suit the child’s age and abilities.

• 35 sturdy cards with lifelike facial expressions
