Emotion Charades
As the new school year approaches, it’s natural for children to experience a range of emotions. To help them prepare, we’ve created “Emotion Charades” using our Applejake® Emotions Cards—a fun and interactive way to explore feelings together.
What is Emotion Charades?
Emotion Charades is a playful twist on the classic game of charades, designed to help kids express and recognize emotions. Using Applejake® Emotions Cards, this game encourages children to act out emotions and connect them to school-related scenarios.
How to Play
Materials Needed:
Applejake® Emoticons Cards
Steps:
- Draw a Card: Each player draws a card and secretly looks at the emotion depicted.
- Act It Out: Without speaking, the player acts out the emotion using facial expressions and gestures.
- Guess the Emotion: Other players guess the emotion. Once guessed correctly, discuss a school situation where this emotion might occur.
- Continue: Play continues with each player taking turns until all cards are used or the game ends.
Game Variation: Add specific school scenarios to increase the challenge, such as “Show how you’d feel if you were called on in class.”
