The Feelings Detective Game

The Feelings Detective Game is a great way for kids to learn how their emotions, thoughts, and actions are connected and how these feelings can lead to different outcomes. This enjoyable game helps children develop key skills like recognizing and handling their emotions, understanding how others feel, and making better choices about their behavior.

Using research-based techniques, the game teaches emotional skills in a fun and engaging way. It offers four different levels of play with age-appropriate cards for both younger and older players, making it easy to adjust the game to fit your child’s needs.

As they play, kids will:

• Learn how to identify their own emotions and the emotions of others
• Understand what triggers certain feelings
• See how emotions influence their actions
• Recognize which reactions are appropriate or not
• Build skills to manage their emotions and reach their goals
• Strengthen their social skills

The game involves matching "Feeling Cards" with "Feeling Talk Cards." Players keep their match if the feeling on the Feeling Talk Card matches the feeling on the Feeling Card. Bonus cards that ask questions about feelings are included to make the game more challenging as kids improve.
