Category: Conversation Games

OuiSi Nature is a set of 210 visually-connecting images captured from the natural world. These photo cards include instructions for games and activities that foster creativity, build mindfulness, and ignite wonder. The name of the game is “yes-yes” in French and Spanish, pronounced “we-see” in English. It’s a nod to the belief that pictures are a visual language almost all of us can speak, regardless of age or background.

Each lush photo card connects visually with other cards in the deck, based on similar patterns, shapes, colors - really, anything you can imagine. There are more than two thousand connections waiting to be found, each providing a wonderful "aha!" moment.

Igniting Young Minds

OuiSi encourages collaboration, like building off another player's Photo Card or co-creating a web of Visual Connections. It also fosters critical and abstract thinking. "How does something connect?" or "what do you see here?" – these questions are building blocks for good conversation and plant seeds of general curiosity.

Victoria ★★★★★

My kids actually ask for these instead of the tablet, which I never expected. With 210 photo cards there's plenty to keep us going, and the mindfulness games work surprisingly well for winding down before bed.

Claire U. ★★★★★

We've been playing the visual connection games at dinner and the conversation just flows differently than with a regular deck. The variety of nature images means no two rounds ever feel the same.

Avery ★★★★★

The 210 nature photos are gorgeous enough that my kids just flip through them like a book, and then the connection games pull everyone in. We've had it on the dinner table every night this week.
