Hi Anjana
I often use the Brene Brown youtub video on empathy - it's great for starting a discussion on this topic and defining the difference between empathy and sympathy... many people identify with the statements within it!

Hope it helps!

Kind regards

Hi Anjana Below are links to empathy videos online that I use and a link to the empathy toy. I have not used the toy myself as yet, it looks really interesting.

you might want to look at rsvp design uk they have a great game called blindfold which is great for empathy activities, listening skills, communication, etc. check it out.
Also, there is a great toy in the US called The Empathy Toy by Twenty One Toys - same concept.
Used both for exercises very powerful.

I think all of these would enable you to explore some important learning points around this topic.

If you can add a bit of background to your request, that might trigger other ideas too. :-)

Hope this helps?
