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!!!
