Perspective Taking Cards – Visual Prompts for Social Reflection

See what’s happening - and imagine how it might feel.

These printable cards combine illustrated social scenes with guided questions that help children reflect on what each character might be thinking, feeling, or needing. A powerful tool for developing empathy, theory of mind, and social problem solving.

What’s Included:

• 14 illustrated social scenarios

• 14 reflection prompt cards (with questions like: "What might each person be thinking?" "Do they know the same things?" "How does that change the situation?")
  

How to Use:
Use in small groups, 1:1 sessions, or classroom discussions. Let kids pick a card, study the scene, and answer reflection questions out loud, in writing, or through drawing.

Why It Works:
Perspective taking isn’t just about knowing what others feel - it’s understanding that people think and believe different things. These cards create a safe, visual space to practice that complex skill.
