Feelings Charades

Take turns acting out emotions with your face and body while the other person guesses.

Category: Emotional Growth · Duration: ~7 min

1. Say, "I'm going to make a face. Can you guess what I'm feeling?" Start with easy ones: happy, sad, angry. 2. Now try harder ones: surprised, confused, nervous, proud, embarrassed, excited. 3. Switch — your little one acts out the feeling and you guess. 4. When they learn a new word like "frustrated" or "embarrassed," make a big deal: "That's a great word! You know that feeling now." 5. The bigger their feelings vocabulary, the better they can tell you what's going on inside.
