Yellow Kabaddi | Pause to Win card deck game

Yellow Kabaddi — Pause to Win

A card game that helps kids notice a feeling, then pause before it takes over.

Big emotions can be difficult for children to recognise, understand and navigate. Yellow Kabaddi turns emotional learning into play, giving children simple ways to notice what they are feeling, recognise how their body is responding, and find a way through the emotion.

The game uses two types of cards:

AWARE cards help children spot the feeling and notice how their body shows it.

PAUSE cards give them simple actions they can try in the moment.

Together, they help make conversations about emotions easier, more playful and part of everyday family life.

62 cards. 10 emotions. 3 ways to play.

Yellow Kabaddi grows with your child, with three different ways to use the same deck:

• It’s a Match — Ages 2–6: An introductory matching game for younger children.
• Pause to Win — Ages 7–13: Turn recognising emotions and choosing pause strategies into a game.
• Pause Jar — Any age: Use the cards beyond game time to bring pause practices into everyday situations.

More than a card game

Yellow Kabaddi is inspired by Amma and her daughters and the everyday moments when children experience big emotions—at home, at school, on the road, in the park and everywhere in between.

It creates an opportunity for parents and children to spend time together while building a shared language around feelings.

Notice the feeling. Notice what your body is telling you. Find your pause.
