Kids GROK
Illustrated Feelings/Needs cards, ages 4-10
- For the kindergartner who bites when she can't find words for her frustration.
- For the students learning their "needs" vocabulary.
When a child can verbalize their experience, they don't have to act it out instead.
Best for PreK–4th teachers and parents building emotional vocabulary.
GROK Empathy Cards
Our bestselling Feelings/Needs cards, ages 11+
- For the advisory group that's been 'off' all day.
- For the kid who shrugs questions off but clearly is dysregulated.
When a teen can say what they're feeling, "I'm fine" stops being the whole story.
Best for middle school, high school, and adult learners ready to identify feelings & needs during moments of dysregulation.
Classroom Kids GROK Cards
Oversized illustrated cards, ages 4-10

Big GROK Cards
Cards built for large groups, ages 11+
- For the class that watched a fight go down in the morning and can't focus.
