Feelings in a Flash - Emotional Intelligence Flashcard Game - Toddlers & Special Needs Children - Teaching Empathy Activities, Coping & Social Skills - 50 Scenario Cards, 50 Reaction Faces

I have bought several decks of feeling cards for my therapy office and I think this is the last deck I will have to buy because I finally found a good one that works for what I need. It has plenty of emotions to choose from and the pictures are great. It also has a deck of situations and asks what feeling the child would feel in that situation. I like that it also has positive situations as well as the negative. Its just a great deck of cards.

I use these feelings cards in my therapy sessions with kids, and they’ve become one of my go-to tools. They’re simple, engaging, and super helpful for helping kids describe their day using emotions—especially when words don’t come easily. What I love most is that they give kids a visual way to recognize and name the wide range of emotions they can feel in a single day. It opens up great conversations and helps normalize the idea that we can feel more than one thing at once (like being excited and nervous—hello, school presentations!). The cards are colorful, easy to understand, and the kids really connect with them. I’ve had kids point and say, “That’s me at recess!” or “I felt like this when my brother took my toy.” It’s a great way to build emotional awareness and language in a way that feels fun, not forced.

Great cards! Excellent quality of paper, lamination, artwork, and packaging. Love love love the artwork (see my review for the matching poster set). The cards include a set of emotion cards with a picture on the front and then prescriptive text on the back: “When I’m angry I can...” The other set of cards included has a picture of a child having an interaction with others, such as at school, with friends, with parents, etc. Then the back of the card describes the scene and asks how this person may feel. You can use these cards to either ask that question, how does the person feel based on the description. Or you could ask a child to look at the picture and interpret what’s happening in the scene. Thoughtful artwork, layout, and color continuity. Intentional use of various skin tones and male/female representation.

I’m currently in my internship for counseling and I have used this game with my clients who are kiddos to help them identify emotions better and it has gone very well! I think some of the words/emotions are a little bit more suited for kids 10+. I like how each emotion card gives you 3 things you can do to regulate your body/mind and that allows for some good conversation and learning moments with clients. I wish there were more variations of the game, but overall it is great!

These are really nice, teaches about very specific feelings that are more in depth than just “sad, mad, happy” and the cards provoke good discussion. Would be better for an older kid, my 5 year old is still a little young for them but we have introduced the ideas and have little conversations about it.

Just pulled these cards out for the first time and I'm so glad I did. We first played them as a family "apples to apples"- style. The best way I've found for my daughter though is as pictured above. We laid out all of the cards in rainbow order in categories and we talked about each scenario and each chose a couple of feelings we would feel. It was interesting to see her choose feelings that were completely opposite of what I would feel in situations. It taught me allot about my daughter and I can be more aware of her feelings. Even more important, it sparked conversations and stories. We had so much fun talking about things that have happened. She loved hearing my experiences from my childhood. We played for an hour and could have kept going. She's now pulling out the blank cards and adding feelings that aren't included. The cards included have a very good range though. Most feelings we needed were there.

My kids loved this game. It helps them think about how they would actually feel in a certain situation and I always asked “how would you feel and how would you react”. This helps practice and talk through different situation before they happen so it easier to respond appropriately.

Music therapist here— right out of the box these are so amazing— one side has the feeling state and the other some strategies or things to try for when you are feeling this way. And for those of us who liked to improvise/write music with clients about feelings, these are so helpful!!! I haven’t used the scenarios cards yet but they are going to definitely come into use when we’ve developed a feelings vocabulary!

EL producto es bastante bueno, cumple con lo esperdo. Muy recomendable.

It was a gift and the recipient really found it useful... Planning to get it for my child too!

Wonderful addition to our emotional literacy tool kit. My son deals with big emotions and we are now talking about flexible and rigid thinking. This game with its realistic cartoons and scenarios is perfect for my 5 year old son.

We purchased these cards for my sister who has Down Syndrome. They have been a fantastic resource and something we would highly recommend to others.

Arrived ahead of time and in good condition. Good quality.
