Through play, students learn to take on the perspective of another player, read nonverbal cues, and demonstrate non-verbal cues with lots of lively discussion. Use this game to foster compassion, understanding, and acceptance.  Grounded in research and evidence-based methods, this game helps students build CASEL skills in the areas of self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship skills.  Cards are designed to provoke discussion, and time should be made during the game to help build players' understanding and compassion. This is a great group activity for the classroom, therapy center, or home!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo play, each player needs blank paper, a pen or pencil, and a set of choice cards A-D. The first player draws a card from the pile. If a Value or Question Card is chosen, the player must place a choice card facedown on the table, selecting A, B, C, or D as an answer to the question. If a Talking Without Words Card is selected, the player must also act out their answer nonverbally.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter the first player has placed their card, all the other players must attempt to answer the card, placing a choice card facedown on the table. However, rather than choosing the answer they themselves would pick, they must try to see things from the first player's point of view and guess which answer they selected. Each correct match is awarded a point, and the first person to get 10 points wins the game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContents: 13 emotion cards, 13 value cards, 14 non-verbal cards, and 16 choice cards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlayers: 2-4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAges: 8 and up \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guidance Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67592973549933,"sku":"540044","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/5696\/5997\/files\/empathy-game__78888.jpg?v=1790773547","url":"https:\/\/shop.nationalautismresources.com\/products\/the-empathy-game","provider":"National Autism Resources","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
