SOCIAL WORK Week of April 26th - May 2nd: Feelings Charades

Feelings Charades

Feelings Charades is a fun game to get you familiar with different types of feelings, how they look when other people express those feelings, and how it feels to express those feelings yourself.  It's a guessing game.  

Here's how you play:

• One player picks a feeling (e.g. happy) and acts that feeling out without saying any words.  
• The other person has to guess what feeling you are acting out.  
• Once they guess it, you take turns and then they get to pick a feeling, act it out, and have you guess it.

There's many other ways you can play as well: You can also pick teams (e.g. adults vs. kids; spring and summer birthdays vs. fall and winter birthdays etc.), you can impose time limits (e.g. each team gets 1 minute to guess), you can earn points (e.g. each guess can be worth one point), you can write down a bunch of feelings names and/or pictures and then cut them out individually, fold them and put them in a bowl and each person picks one out randomly.  There are so many different ways to play!  Try whatever seems the most fun!
