Emotion Card Games
The Emotion Card Games are designed to help teach a variety of

skills related to awareness of emotions and problem-solving
concerning emotions. The cards are intended to be used in a flexible
manner. Several suggested uses are provided below. Before using
the cards, remove any cards that don’t seem to suit the needs of the
children you are working with. Some Question Cards appear more
than once in the deck. To help with the Question Cards concerning
responding to other people’s emotions, you may wish to print out
this separate free resource as a guide: http://bit.ly/18sEuYz
Activity 1: Using only the Emotion Word Cards, place the deck
upside down and have take turns drawing cards and reading the
emotion word. Have them tell about a time they felt that way, or
have them ask someone else about when they felt that way.
Suggestion: “Stack the deck” ahead of time to probe for specific
emotions.
Activity 2: Place the decks of Emotion Word Cards and Question

cards face down. Each player draws one Emotion Word Card and
one Question Card. The question card gives the player a problem to
solve, question to answer or activity to perform based on the
particular emotion word.. (See examples on pages 2 and 3)
Activity 3: Using only the deck of Emotion Word Cards, have the
players follow the directions on card 45. This is an engaging activity
all by itself without the other Question Cards. Doing this activity with
a mirror or video camera is helpful.
Activity 4: Emotion storytelling. Use only cards 21 to 28. This is a

challenging activity, employing both emotional intelligence and
cooperative skills, and can easily be done as an entirely separate
activity. (See example on page 4)
