Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Name the emotion shown in a picture, across anger, excitement, happiness, sadness and fear
Predict the emotion a described situation would produce, from a forgotten test to being left out at recess
Match a described set of body sensations to the emotion behind it, including anxious and calm
Choose the common trigger for a named emotion from four options, distinguishing it from three plausible alternatives
Recognise that the same event can be read differently, and explain the reasoning behind a chosen emotion to the rest of the group

Teaching tips

Three of the five categories run on pictures rather than words, so the game works for pre-readers and for students who find written scenarios hard, while Situations and Triggers carry the reading load
Triggers is the only multiple-choice category, and its distractors are deliberately mild — a smile, a joke, a favourite candy against a theft — which makes those five cards the natural discussion set
Point values run 100 to 500 within each category, but the cards are not obviously graded by difficulty, so treat the numbers as scoring rather than as a sequence
The answers page lists all twenty-five responses on one sheet, which suits one printed copy for whoever is keeping score rather than a copy per team
The black and white set is a full duplicate of the colour one, so a single download covers both a display screen and a photocopier

Skills covered

Naming emotions from facial and body cues — the Name It cards show a picture and ask for the emotion, keyed as Anger, Excited, Happy, Sadness and Scared.
Reading emotion from a situation — students decide what they would feel when they forget to study, are left out at recess, or are the fastest runner in gym class, keyed Nervous, Sad and Proud.
Connecting body sensations to feelings — the Body Feelings cards describe physical reactions and ask which emotion they belong to, keyed Excited, Sad, Angry, Anxious and Calm.
Identifying emotional triggers — five multiple-choice cards ask what commonly sets off anger, happiness, nervousness, calm and sadness, with taking deep breaths keyed as the trigger for calm.
Playing and scoring as a team — the instructions set out team play with points recorded by hand in the printed version.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How much reading does the game need?

Less than half of it. Situations cards each carry a written scenario and Triggers cards carry a question and four written options, but Name It, This or That and Body Feelings work from pictures, so fifteen of the twenty-five cards can be played by a group that is not yet reading fluently.

What do the Triggers cards ask?

Which of four options commonly sets off a named emotion. The five cards cover anger, happy, nervousness, calm and sadness, and the answers are someone stealing from you, listening to a favourite song, experiencing something new, taking deep breaths, and no one wanting to play with you.

How are the colour and black and white sets arranged in the file?

As two complete runs, each behind its own divider page and each followed by an answers page. The colour set comes first, the black and white set repeats every card, so a teacher printing in greyscale can jump straight to the second half rather than printing colour pages in mono.
