Emotions Game

The Emotions Game is a fun and engaging resource designed to help young children recognise and understand different human emotions through interactive role play. Using wooden emotion face paddles and a simple spinner, children take turns spinning to reveal an emotion, then select the matching face paddle and act out the emotion. This easy-to-use format allows seamless play among multiple children, making it ideal for early childhood classrooms and care settings.

The emotions explored in this set include Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared, Laughing, and Surprised. By encouraging expressive play, children develop the ability to identify and communicate their feelings while building empathy towards others. The game's design makes it perfect for group activities, fostering a positive environment for emotional learning.
