This educational game is designed to teach children in grades 2-7 to understand the concept of empathy, to be empathetic,and to take positive actions toward others based on empathy.

Teachers, counselors, therapists, and parents can use the game as play therapy. It can also be used for as high-interest material for older students.

Empathy is the ability to understand how others feel about issues. A person who is empathetic is able to "put themselves in the shoes of others."

This quality is essential for building lasting friendships and positive relationships with family members, friends, and adults. The game takes an incremental approach, teaching basic skills and moving on to more complex skills.
