Youthscape Playing Cards: Talking About Relationships

Conversation-starter playing cards to get young people thinking and talking about positive relationships whether that’s friendships, with family or in romantic partnerships.

Relationships and friendships are a big part of young people’s lives, and it is so important to create space for young people to share their thoughts and process what healthy relationships look and feel like. We’ve designed these cards to help get those conversations started! Each of the four card suits explores a different aspect of relationships:

What does it mean to belong?
What are relationship must-haves?
Are the challenges worth it?
What influences your relationships?

Some questions are quite light-hearted, others offer the chance to go a bit deeper. This resource is ideal for all kinds of relational youth work, from mentoring to group work, from school to church settings. They probably work best with you people aged 11-16. Our new Talking About Relationships playing cards are loosely inspired by an older resource – the Romance Academy playing cards. Those original cards were one of our most popular resources, and now we’ve given them a major revamp. We’ve rewritten around 90% of the content (keeping 1 or 2 of our favourite questions) to make the new pack fun, engaging and relevant for young people today.

Our hope is that these cards open the space for helpful and empowering conversations, however, we’d recommend you look through them first to check if any don’t feel suitable for your group. The cards in this pack contain questions about friendship, relationship, sex, porn and dating. You are welcome to skip any cards that make the young person you’re interacting with uncomfortable. It’s also okay to do as many or as few cards as you’d like, and follow the lead of your group as to where the conversation goes! Alongside the colourful designs they’re also a full 52-card, four-suit, Ace-King set, so you can integrate them with your favourite card games, or, if you’re feeling talked out, just play cards! For more ideas on how to use the cards check out https://www.youthscape.co.uk/p.... We hope these cards lead to some great conversations with the young people you work with and open up discussions around relationship/friendship basics, boundaries and belonging.
