Feelings Frenzy!

Author : Ruth
Level = Elementary
Target_English = Feelings/How are you?
big_small = Big groups



Make a set of flash cards (or even just pieces of paper works well) for feelings.  You`ll need two cards for each feeling.

Give each student a card.

The object of the game is for the students to ask each other how they are and find the person who has the same feeling as them.

At the start of the game the children walk around the class randomly exchanging the cards (it works better if they don`t look at the cards as they`re passing them)

When the teacher shouts "How are you?"  The kids look at their cards and they have to run around the class asking the other students "How are you?" until they`ve found their partner and then they sit down.

The slowest team is out.

You can keep playing until there are only 2 kids left who are the winners.  As the group gets smaller and smaller the game gets more exciting.

You can also try it by getting the kids to just mime the feelings rather than say it but be sure the kids understand the feeling because I had one child walking around the class miming crying even though he was hungry!!!
