How to use it
- Choose a face card and notice any clues that stand out to you.
- Match it with one or more feeling words, or leave it unmatched.
- Share your reason if you want; another person may make a different match.
Reflection prompts
- Which cards could have more than one match?
- What information besides a face could help you understand someone?
- How could you check instead of guessing?
Facilitator guidance
Use the cards for matching, sorting, storytelling, or charades. Emphasize that appearance alone does not prove what another person feels.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Reduce the number of cards or offer two choices at a time.
- Pair each word with a symbol, translation, or AAC selection.
- Allow cooperative play without scores.
