Before you play
Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Recognise basic feelings, happy, sad, angry, scared and stressed, link them to situations, learn healthy ways to handle them, see how our actions affect friends' feelings, and use sorry, thank you, that's all right and may I in the right places.
What's in the worksheet
4 matching rounds, 4 pairs each - Feeling to situation, e.g. angry with being teased, scared with being alone in the dark - Feeling to coping, e.g. angry with breathing deeply before speaking - Action to friend's feeling, e.g. praising a friend with encouragement, grabbing with anger - Words to situation, e.g. that's all right with forgiving, may I with wanting to use someone's things
How to use it in class
Use in a health lesson on feelings, or after a quarrel in class; about 6 minutes. - Read each card while pulling the matching face and let children copy it, which helps weaker readers - After round 2, breathe in slowly three times together as a class - In round 4, have pairs act out short scenes saying sorry and thank you - Play as a whole class on screen rather than competitively on a topic about feelings - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Round 2: sad with telling someone you trust and scared with asking an adult to stay could swap, and children who swap them will feel they are not wrong; the teacher should agree both fit both feelings - Round 1: young children find sad and angry hard to separate, and losing something can make you angry too; talk about how one event can bring several feelings - Round 4: 'that's all right' often gets paired with doing something wrong because children hear it as the reply to sorry
