RISE

This game can help you teach emotional intelligence in school or at home.

Use RISE within a restorative justice circle, or one on one to have productive conversations. The game includes cards with visuals of different emotions that ask students to recall a time they have felt a certain emotion, and cards with questions that prompt them to infer what they would be feeling in a hypothetical situation. This helps students identify their emotions and how these emotions can affect their actions in the real world.

By playing this game on a regular basis; teachers can supplement the school curriculum by teaching emotional intelligence and empathy, they can foster a healthy classroom community where students feel comfortable sharing their personal experiences and connecting with their peers. The game can also help people understand that, even though we all experience the same emotions, we don't always feel the same way in the same situation, and that's okay. Empathy is only the starting point.

Together we can learn to RISE Recognize Investigate, Self-disclose, and Empathize.
