Empathy Role-Play Game: Teaching Kindness Through Play!

The Empathy Role-Play Game is a thoughtful tool for helping children aged 4+ learn and practise kindness through engaging real-life scenarios. With two sets of cards tailored to different age groups, it offers a structured yet flexible approach to building empathy skills in a fun and accessible way for children.

Ages 4–6:  Includes 12 scenario cards (yellow) designed with simplified situations, ideal for helping younger children start to recognise and respond to others’ feelings.

Ages 7+:  Features 24 scenario cards (teal) that introduce more complex scenarios, encouraging older children to consider emotional cues and think about how their responses impact others.

To recognise their progress, there is a each a Certificate of Kindness at the end—acknowledging their achievement in understanding and practising empathy. 

Meet the Creator

As the Managing Director of the London School of Childcare and a mum to two adult sons, I’ve always believed in raising children with empathy, kindness, and strong, meaningful relationships. When my boys were younger, we’d play simple role-play games to help them understand and respond to others’ feelings, giving them a foundation for making caring choices in real-life situations. I hope you and the children in your life enjoy this game, find it engaging, and have fun building these valuable qualities together!
