- Included activity booklet provides more detailed instruction ideas.
- All images appear horizontally for consistent presentation.

- Stage One is comprised of cards that present two identical images on non-distracting white backgrounds. These basic cards foster matching, labeling, and categorization skills.
- Stage Two presents the images in their natural settings, enabling children to conceptualize and generalize.

Emotion
80 card set helps students identify and discuss different feelings and emotions. The set features male and female models, ranging from ages of 1 to 70 years old from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
40 images are of 5 basic emotions (happy, sad, angry, surprised and disgusted) with 8 different people portraying each emotion. These cards have a plain background and show only the persons upper body and face, with expressions clearly depicting each emotion. The remaining 40 cards depict individuals and groups in realistic emotion-provoking situations and activities taken in natural settings and contexts.
The scenarios invite discussion about a range of emotions, why the people may feel that way, and possible appropriate and inappropriate responses to these feelings. The back of the cards include suggested questions and conversations starters.
Occupations
115 card set includes male and female depictions of common occupations. Children can identify and discuss different jobs and careers without learning stereotypes or gender bias. The images are current and familiar, and featured in natural settings. Each picture includes context clues to make identification easy and fun, and to provide topics for discussion. This card set is perfect for:
- Expanding vocabulary to include career and job names
- Discussing people in the community children encounter on a daily basis
- Preparing children for people they will see (i.e. a visit to the doctor or dentist)
- Discussing “What you want to be when you grow up
- Matching and sorting.
- Practicing gender identification
- Practicing appropriate pronoun use in full sentences
- Use as a prompt for conversation, storytelling or writing exercises
