Activity: Emotion Charades
Source: Emma (Masters in special education, March 28, 2011. Friendshipcircle.org)
Equipment Needed: Pieces of paper, pen or color pencils
Activity Description:
1. Have your participants write down feeling words on pieces of paper rather than using
general movie titles, animals, or typical words. Participants can sit in a circle or a
classroom setup, as long as theyre all able to see the one acting out the word.
2. Place all participants pieces of paper into a small bowl/cup and shuffle.
3. Leader or first participant should start off by picking out a piece of paper from the
container and acting out whats written on it so the others can guess the emotion.
4. Take turns picking a slip of paper and then acting out the word written on it.
5. Continue the activity until everyone has gotten a chance to act out an emotion. The
winner is whoever guessed the most emotions correctly.
