The Empathy Card Game – 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 recognise 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!
