Empathy Counts is an educational game developed to teach young people to understand the concept of empathy, to be empathetic, and to take positive actions towards others based on empathy. It is designed for students in grades 2-7 and can also be used as high-interest material for older students. There are four decks of cards, each covering a different aspect of the players' lives: Friendship, Activities and Hobbies, At School, and All about Myself. This game takes an incremental approach to learning empathy, teaching basic skills and moving on to more complex skills.
