Emotions are a bit like chess pieces: they all move in different ways, they all matter, and learning how to use them helps us play the game of life better!

Welcome to Emotion Chess, a fun and creative twist on the classic game of chess! In this version, every move isn’t just about strategy, it’s about understanding how we feel, how others feel, and what we can do about it.

A completely printable game of self discovery and discussion, Emotion Chess turns the game of chess into a safe, engaging space for exploring feelings, practising self-regulation, and building emotional intelligence. With 32 printable prompt cards for exploring emotions and self regulation strategies, it’s a fun way to support children and young people to open up and discuss their emotions and experiences in safe environments.
