"These cards are one of the best things I have ever bought for my kids. Ages 8 and 9. They open a door to conversations we would never be having and we are all so much closer because of them. I can't recommend the cards enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!"

About Children Are Human

Created with elementary-aged kids in mind, this deck includes 140 thoughtfully designed prompts that help you:

(Many families adapt it for younger children with adult guidance.)
What if my child is younger than 7?
Children Are Human was originally developed for ages 7–10+, but many families have shared that it works beautifully with younger children as well.
Depending on your child’s curiosity, comfort level, and reading ability, the cards can be a meaningful experience for children younger than 7.
For example, if your child isn’t able to read the cards yet, many parents simply read them aloud and let their child respond in their own way.
Here’s what some families have shared:
“I love these cards. My kids aren't even 7 yet. I have a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old and they both beg for "question time!" We've already gone through the questions and I had to shuffle them! Perfect for our commute time!” – Morgan Craig
“We played the game with our 5 & 7 year old and it brought us such insight into them. A common theme with all their answers was how much they loved their family, which was heartwarming to hear. I am so glad I decided to buy this! We decided we will have a family sit down dinner every Sunday and use the cards together." – Jennifer Bradburn
“This helped unearth some gems from my 6 year old like his most favorite things that makes him feel loved was family outings.” – Reona Kumagai
Every child develops differently. If your child enjoys conversation, imagination, or sharing their thoughts, the deck can be a meaningful experience at a younger age with adult guidance.
We plan to officially update the age recommendation soon.

"This is exactly what I wanted. We already got my son thinking outside the box a little bit. He was so excited to get to the next question and talk about it and then ask my husband and I about it as well! What a great way to spend a weekday night after dinner."
