Friends and Neighbors The Helping Game is a cooperative board game designed to help young children practice empathy, compassion, and emotional awareness while they play. This matching-style game encourages kids to look at what the characters on each board are feeling and choose a helpful item from the Helping Bag that might comfort them. Little players work together instead of competing, creating a gentle, confidence-building experience that supports early emotional development.
The set includes four colorful game boards, a bright yellow Helping Bag filled with sturdy tokens, and a beautifully illustrated guide that walks children through the simple, meaningful gameplay. This is a popular choice among parents, teachers, counselors, and anyone looking for a game that blends fun with early social–emotional learning. Everything stores neatly back in the box for easy cleanup, and gameplay is designed to stay short and engaging for young attention spans.
This game is recommended for ages three and up, lasts about ten minutes per round, and supports one to four players. It is made by Peaceable Kingdom and MindWare, known for creating thoughtful educational games for kids.
