Description
This activity aims to identify and connect to the emotions we experience. The aim of the game is to collect four cards of the same emotion until all cards have been exposed. Scouts will win points if they share when they have felt or witnessed those specific emotions.
Instructions
Distribute five cards to each Scout.
- Scatter the remaining cards face down in the centre of the table to form a kind of pond.
- The youngest Scout “A” starts and a sks another Scout “B” of their choice for all the cards they have of a specific emotion (e.g. "Give me Happiness!"):
- If the Scout has the cards of that specific emotion, they pass them to the Scout who asked for that emotion.
- If instead they have no cards for that emotion, they reply, “Draw an emotion!” and Scout who requested the emotion needs to take a card from the pile of cards facing down at the centre.
- If a scout has collected four cards of a certain emotion, they put them face up on the table.
- To win a point they must tell an episode/example/scenario in which they felt that specific emotion.
- The turn then passes to another who proceeds as per instructions.
- The activity continues until all the cards have been exposed on the table.
- Scouts then share their own experience s with each emotion.
