The “Speaking Cards” kit contains 36 cards that display children experiencing some of the diverse situations and feelings a child may encounter in their day-to-day lives. The cards are drawn in basic clean lines and are deliberately adapted to resonate with the way in which children see the world. By playing with the cards and talking about them, you can encourage the child to express the feelings and thoughts that they are carrying in their heart, whether as part of their everyday life or in times of transition, turning points or crises. Using the cards to talk about feelings will help the child to better handle their life events and cope with difficult emotions.
There are many ways to use the cards, especially if you are a therapist, then you can be as creative as you feel.
We offer 8 different suggestions to create a fruitful conversation (in the instructions booklet) These are some parts of it:

Many times the initial reaction for divorce is one of shock, sadness, frustration, anger, or worry. But kids also can come out of it better able to cope with stress, and many become more flexible, tolerant young adults.
Like adults, kids also struggle with stress. Too many commitments, conflict in their families and problems with peers are all stressors that overwhelm children.
It is completely natural for your child to be jealous of a new baby. Our goal is to help your child manage that jealousy so love has a chance to grow, and to win out.
There are many ways to use the cards, but just like the other customer wrote – it’s more like a tool to assist children to express themselves. We provide 8 different suggestions on how to play this game to get the most interesting conversations and to create a deeper connection. For example:
1. Speaking Cards: Reveal all the cards and ask the child to select one card they relate with the most. Ask “if the characters on the card could speak, what would they say?”
2. Sea of Emotions: Choose ten relevant cards for the child and ask “From the cards in your hand, filter the cards so that you have only 3 characters left that might share a thought or feeling with you”. Then “which of the children on the cards feels like you at the moment?”
3. Imaginary Friend:. Ask “Which child is like you?” “What do other children think about them”?
Of course! You can use the Speaking Cards therapy game to help students understand their feelings and emotions and express them without any fear, there is a whole part of the instructions for group activities.
As the images show, every card shows a different pose that may be relevant to different situations in the child’s world.
Designed by professional art therapists and psychotherapists, this card game has been carefully designed so as to embrace the feelings expression process and make children feel comfortable while talking about their inner world. This is why the emotions are not listed on the back of the cards – the child can choose to talk about what really pops up to his mind. Talking through cards is an extremely effective way in order to find out what kids really think, to which situations they are related to, or in what ways they can express their feelings.
Since we are not born with an instruction manual, our goal is to become a leading provider of information and resources for parents, therapists, and educators.
