Yellow Kabaddi Family Space | Book + Card game

Turn family time into a space to understand emotions together.

Big feelings don’t always need big lectures. Sometimes, they need a story, a conversation and a little pause.

Yellow Kabaddi brings together an illustrated storybook and emotion-learning cards to help children and parents explore feelings together — naturally, through reading, talking and playing.

Start with the Yellow Kabaddi picture storybook, where children follow Deeksha as she experiences emotions and discovers what it means to pause.

Then continue the conversation with Yellow Kabaddi – Pause to Win cards. The cards bring different emotions and situations into family time, helping children notice what they feel, express it and explore what they can do with that feeling.

Read. Talk. Play. Pause.

The book and cards are designed to work together.

Read together — Follow Deeksha’s story and see emotions unfold in situations children can relate to.

Recognise together — Help children notice and name different emotions without labelling them as “good” or “bad.”

Talk together — Use the story and cards to open conversations about “Have you ever felt this way?” and “What does that feeling feel like for you?”

Pause together — Explore the idea that we don’t always have to react immediately to a feeling. We can notice it, pause and decide what to do next.

Emotional learning that includes the whole family

Yellow Kabaddi isn’t about sitting a child down and teaching them how to manage their emotions.

It creates family time where children and adults can understand emotions together.

Parents can share their own experiences. Children can talk about theirs. Everyone gets a language for feelings — and a simple reminder that pausing is something we can all practise.

What children explore

Through the story and cards, children can build familiarity with 10+ emotions, while practising emotional awareness, expression, reflection and the habit of pausing before reacting.

Designed for children 6+ and adults, Yellow Kabaddi can become part of quiet afternoons, after-school conversations, weekends, travel or simply those moments when the family has time to sit together.

Because understanding emotions shouldn't feel like a lesson. It can simply feel like time spent together.
