Oblivion for Kids: The World Is Bigger Than What We See
Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered how many are hiding where you cannot see them?
Have you ever thought someone was angry with you and later discovered they were actually tired or sad?
Sometimes we see only part of the story.
That idea is at the heart of Oblivion.
Oblivion teaches us to stay curious, think about our choices, understand our emotions, and remember that other people may be experiencing things we cannot see.
Now it is time to play.
Game 1 — Emotion Superpowers
Pick an emotion.
Examples:
😡 Anger
😨 Fear
😢 Sadness
😄 Joy
😤 Pride
Now answer two questions:
What trouble can this emotion cause?
What superpower could it become?
Example:
Anger → defending someone who is being bullied.
Fear → noticing danger.
Sadness → understanding another person’s pain.
Mission
Turn a difficult feeling into something helpful without hurting anyone.
Game 2 — What Am I Missing?
One player describes a strange situation.
Example:
“Alex suddenly ran away from the playground.”
Everyone guesses why.
Then the storyteller reveals more information.
Maybe Alex saw his dog escaping.
Maybe his father called him.
Maybe he heard someone asking for help.
Lesson
The first explanation we imagine is not always the correct one.
Game 3 — Build the Choice Tree
Choose an imaginary adventure.
“You discover a mysterious key on the ground.”
What do you do?
A. Keep it
B. Search for its owner
C. Give it to an adult
Now invent what happens after each decision.
Keep adding choices until you create three different endings.
Challenge
Which choice produces the best result for the most people?
Game 4 — The Invisible World Hunt
Find five things that exist even though you cannot normally see them.
Examples:
wind,
Wi-Fi signals,
thoughts,
feelings,
gravity.
Now ask:
Does something have to be visible to be real?
There may be more around us than our eyes alone can discover.
Game 5 — Light, Shadow or Both?
One person says a situation or emotion.
Everyone decides whether it belongs to:
☀️ Light
🌑 Shadow
🌗 Both
Try:
Courage.
Fear.
Competition.
Anger.
Forgiveness.
Winning.
Losing.
Sadness.
The interesting part is explaining why you chose your answer.
There may be more than one good answer.
Game 6 — The Kindness Detective
During the day, secretly search for three good actions performed by other people.
Maybe someone:
held a door,
shared something,
helped a friend,
comforted someone,
cleaned something without being asked.
At dinner or before bedtime, reveal what you discovered.
Bonus Mission
Do one kind thing that another person may never notice.
Game 7 — Create Your Own Virtue Guardian
Invent a character who protects one important value.
Choose:
Name
Symbol
Power
Virtue
Weakness
Difficult emotion they must learn to control
Example:
Lumina
Virtue: Compassion
Power: Can feel when someone is lonely
Weakness: Becomes overwhelmed by sadness
Lesson: Helping others also requires caring for yourself.
