Feelings Film Game | Skills for Big Feelings (Digital + Print)
Make feelings identification fun and interactive with the Feelings Film Game from Skills for Big Feelings! This emotional awareness activity helps children recognize, name, and reflect on emotions through 32 relatable scenarios. Rather than simply memorizing feelings words, children explore how different situations might affect them and learn that people can experience the same situation differently.
This digital and printable SEL game gives children a playful way to develop emotional vocabulary and self-awareness. The digital version provides an interactive, self-checking experience, while the printable option offers a hands-on alternative for counseling, therapy, small groups, and social-emotional learning lessons.
Designed to complement Session 1 of the Skills for Big Feelings curriculum, Feelings Film can also be used as a standalone emotions identification activity.
