Directions

Instructions:

• Close your eyes and have your finger land somewhere on the emotion wheel and have the campers act out the emotion it lands on without speaking.
• The rest of the group will guess what emotion is being portrayed.
• This helps kids practice identifying and expressing emotions through body language and facial expressions.

Group Reflection:

• Hold a discussion on the difference between two close emotions. Discuss constructive ways you can manage difficult emotions. This teaches campers how to handle various emotions in real-life situations and gives them tools to regulate their feelings.
