The Bingo of Emotions

Instructions

To prepare this activity we need to start by creating the bingo cards. We will need as many as there are participants in the game:

  • Draw on a sheet a 5x5 grid and write an emotion in each box (e.g. Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Excitement, Anger, etc).
  • Each participant should do this, or it can be done in pairs.

Once the bingo cards are ready, the whole group can start playing:

  1. Sit all the Scouts in a circle.
  2. Each Scout thinks of six situations in which they have found themselves in the last week and have experienced a specific emotion. They should write each situation on a small piece of paper.
  3. Crumple all the small pieces of paper and place them in the middle.
  4. Then distribute one bingo card to each scout.
  5. Each player in turn picks one of the crumpled pieces of paper at random and reads it;
  6. Mark the box on the board with the emotion they most associate with the situation described on the piece of paper.
  7. Whoever manages to place five consecutive marks in a row, column or diagonally makes Bingo and wins the game.
