Train of Thought – Inside Out 2-Inspired Emotional Regulation Board Game

Help kids explore and manage their big emotions with this fun, therapeutic board game inspired by Inside Out 2. Designed for children ages 8–11, this interactive printable game builds emotional intelligence, coping skills, and self-regulation in a way that’s both playful and powerful.

Whether you're a school counselor, therapist, teacher, or parent, this social-emotional learning (SEL) game helps kids better understand themselves—and others—through evidence-based play.

🧠 WHAT IT IS:

Players journey through Riley’s mind—visiting locations like Headquarters, Memory Dump, Worry Vault, and Sense of Self—while learning to recognize, express, and regulate emotions. Landing on activity squares prompts players to draw from a deck of cards filled with emotion-based prompts, brain facts, coping skills, and thoughtful scenarios.
