Today I got the game "Ready 2 Help" -- which you can also download from this ready.gov website or order from FEMA at Ready 2 Help Game and Order Form (https://community.fema.gov/game_download?lang=en_US). The cards are high-quality and look like a store-bought kids' card game. It says "Ages 8 and up", but I haven't yet had the opportunity to try them out on anyone. Because it's an actual game, I think the advice on these cards (e.g. "take a deep breath") might actually stick if the kids enjoy the game.
