Starting the Game:

Choose the starting player (e.g., the youngest or whoever wants to go first). Play then continues clockwise.

Drawing a Question Card:

The current player draws a card and reads the question aloud (with adult assistance if needed).
Example: “How would you feel if someone else got the last cookie?”

Expressing Feelings:

The player shares how they would feel in the situation. For example, “I think I would feel sad” or “I’d feel angry.”
The facilitator encourages the child to elaborate on their feelings and helps if they struggle to find the right words.
Example: “Why would you feel sad? Maybe because you wanted the cookie?”

Providing Helpful Responses:

After the child answers, the facilitator reads the helpful response from the back of the card to provide further context.
Example: “It’s natural to feel disappointed in this situation, but you can think about how you might get the last cookie next time!”

Expressing Emotions:

If uncertain, the facilitator can provide guidance, such as asking, “Would you feel sad, angry, or something else?”

Naming and Explaining Feelings:

After selecting an Emotion Card, the player explains their choice.
Example: “I’d feel sad because I didn’t get the cookie.”
The facilitator can ask follow-up questions to encourage more detailed responses, such as, “What else might you feel? Do you think you’d feel better later?”
