You need

  • Feelings cards (print the feelings sheets) or just your faces

Let's play

  1. Take turns acting out a feeling with only your face and body.
  2. Everyone guesses: happy? scared? surprised?
  3. Talk about a time you felt that way.
  4. Then show a calm face and take a big breath together.
Grown-up tip: Try it in front of a mirror so kids can see their own expressions.
