Wonderful Way To Teach Expressing Emotions
I knew the moment I saw this I wanted to get it for my granddaughter and I to play. She is 7yo now but she has always had a hard time expressing emotions. I suspect she may be slightly on the spectrum so over the years I have tried to come up with small ways to help her. We love playing Go Fish so this seemed like a perfect way to combine our love of the game and helping her.I have to say it was a little bit of a failure the first time, not because of the game but because I found out it is even harder than I realized for her to express facial emotions. She would revert back to vocal stimming or just walking off which is okay for the first time playing. It was obviously overwhelming for her and helped me know how to approach it from now on.As for the game itself, I think it is set up wonderfully and I enjoyed teaching her how to play. Using my own face to express and show her how to play and relate to the cards was fun and she enjoyed the silliness of it. She did like the idea of earning the little tokens and I think those were a great idea for them to include.I hope that the more we play this the more her emotional intelligence grows. I want her to be able to express herself in healthy ways so that she can thrive and be able to ask for what she needs as she grows.

Every Pre-Kindergarten Classroom Should Own a Set!
I am an early childhood educator, and social-emotional learning is one of the most important topics that we teach in the classroom. We already have a set of feelings cards that have illustrated faces of children – but these cards will probably replace them. This is a great catalog of images, and I absolutely love the diversity! There is a wide range of model selection (different skin tones and adult/child), as well as four different expressions of each emotion. Having icons in the upper corner for children to use if they cannot identify the emotion or read the word below was a great design choice too, as it means this set can be used for even younger players (age 4+). I wish the word bubbles had followed a similar unique color scheme to make the linking even more obvious. The activity cards are silly, and may get stale quickly, but I appreciate their inclusion. They will help prevent the game from getting stale too quickly.My only concern is that the card quality is a bit thin — not cheap — but children can get fidget and bend things easily. These might get sleeved or put through the laminator before I pass them out. Or maybe I just buy a second set for the future. These cards will almost certainly become a staple in my classroom.

Fun and interactive Go fish game with a twist
This Go fish game is interactive and fun, especially once everyone gets the hang of it. It’s a bit different from the regular Go Fish, as it focuses on facial expressions and emotions which makes it great for social emotional learnings. It did take us a little time to understand the difference between different emotions and match the expressions, but once we got going, it turned into a great group activity. Its a nice way to engage kids and adults while teaching emotional awareness. This a great game for classroom and home with some serious fun.The downside is, the learnings curve to understand those emotions might make it confusing. You need patience to continue playing and once understood, it is a good fun game.

A neat twist on the classic Go Fish card game; kids can learn about different emotions in a fun way!
I got this card game to use in my classroom. It’s a nice twist on the classic Go Fish, by adding emotions to help teach children about the various feelings they may be experiencing. Game play can range from 2 to 6 players and the optimal age is 6 and up. Each session doesn’t take very long to play, and children can act out the feelings to collect cards which is a learning experience with real-world value. The cards are made well and have many different pictures of children expressing various emotions. I’m looking forward to playing this version of Go Fish with my students this year.

Awesome for families or teachers
This Go Fish game is such a clever and meaningful take on the classic. Instead of just matching animals or colors, you’re matching feelings and using real photos of real kids. My toddler loved it I love that it naturally opens the door for conversation. It’s been a great tool for discussing emotions at home, and I also plan to use it in small groups when I tutor K–1 students. It’s perfect for working on social emotional skills in a fun, engaging way. Great concept, well executed, and so helpful for encouraging kids to name and talk about their feelings. Have already recommended it to a few other teacher friends!

Engaging and effective way to build emotional awareness through play
This “Go Fish – Faces & Feelings” card game is a well-designed tool for helping kids recognize and talk about emotions in a relaxed, playful setting. The game follows the familiar Go Fish format, making it easy to learn, but each card features a facial expression and matching emotion word, which turns every round into a learning opportunity.The illustrations are expressive and clear, helping children understand subtle emotional cues. I used this game with my child (age 6) and noticed that it encouraged thoughtful conversations about different feelings—not just naming them, but also recognizing when and why someone might feel that way.It’s versatile enough to be used at home for casual play or in more structured environments like classrooms or therapy settings. The card quality is good, and the packaging is compact and convenient for travel.Overall, this is a thoughtful and fun way to support social-emotional development while keeping kids engaged. Highly recommended for families and educators looking to build emotional literacy through meaningful play.

Well thought out game design
My daughter is a little young to actually play this game but she loves to look at the expression cards. It comes in a nice high quality box for storage, nicer than a typical card game box. The cards maybe a bit on the thin side but they do all fit in the box nicely, along with instruction and “go fish” tokens. I do wish the game used some other form of card instead of the tokens, because if one has very young toddlers around they could easily pose a choking hazard.
details are important –
This is a well designed card game. The more I look at it the more I like it.The card game can be played using Go Fish type of rules, or a memory matching game. So it is a 2 in 1.The cards are colourful and printed in detail. They feel like regular playing cards and are easy to shuffle.What I liked is that each card is unique. At first I thought that they would simply reprint identical cards and you would match them, but this is not the case. There are 14 different feelings/expressions, and for each one, there are 4 cards. For each card, there is a different photo. So no two cards are identical. This gives children more changes to try to recognize facial expressions and body language.What makes this game even better is that the instructions tells the kids to act out the emotion and not just to demand a card. This becomes training for the kids to learn to express their emotions in a way that others can understand, and also to learn to read other people’s emotions and body language. So this is a great benefit.I did find that some expressions on the photos seem a little exaggerated in terms of hand placement or mouth and eyes opening. Then also, some expressions are somewhat similar such as scared-surprised, happy-excited, etc. but that is understandable due to overlap and some similarities. You can tell the cards apart by the emoji and the title.A great card game to teach children expressions.

Fun version of Go Fish for kids. It uses pictures to demonstrate different emotions and each card has the word, the image and also an emoji so it’s suitable for a variety of levels. We’ve been using it as Go Fish but kids could also use it as a memory match game when alone too. It’s more expensive than other varieties I’ve seen but it is good quality and i like the conversations that the cards open up around emotions.

Got this for my nieces. It’s a bit corny, but they’ll likely benefit from seeing all the different ways people can express different emotions. Some of the photos are very ‘actor’-ey, and some are not exactly expressing a particular emotion super clearly (there’s one ‘happy’ card where the woman definitely looks like she’s faking it)…. But overall, seems like a good learning tool, and it was pretty engaging for the girls. One of them just turned 3 and can’t read, but can still play this game (mostly) independently, because she can recognize the emotions, so that’s great.Very simple concept, everything you need is in a box about the size of a deck of cards (because that’s what it is).

Great game to teach kids about emotions and how each looks on a different person. Cards have the emoji, a picture and the word so you can play in a variety of ways. There are bonus cards and tokens you can play with, but we’ve never needed to – more than happy to play the “classic” go fish.

This game is a fantastic tool for helping kids learn about emotions in a fun and engaging way! I love that it was developed by psychologists—it really shows in how naturally it teaches emotional recognition and social skills. The two game options (Go Fish and Memory Match) keep things fresh, and the no-reading-needed format makes it accessible for younger kids. It’s perfect for both home and classroom use, and the bonus cards and tokens add an extra layer of excitement. A great resource for supporting emotional development and social-emotional learning!
