Coping Shuffle Card Game

Coping Shuffle | Printable Coping Skills Card Game for Teens

Bring hands-on coping skills practice to your next session with Coping Shuffle from The Calm Connection. Designed for ages 13 and up, this printable game combines color-and-number matching with short prompts that invite teens to practice, think, and connect.

Players match cards by color or number while exploring four coping areas:

Ground: Notice the present moment and practice grounding strategies.

Move: Explore comfortable movement and ways to release tension.

Reframe: Check assumptions and try more balanced thoughts.

Connect: Practice asking for help, setting boundaries, and supporting others.

Special cards add variety to play. Players can try a skill, explain an idea, answer for a made-up person, or pass—personal sharing is always optional.
