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.
