LETS TALK FEELINGS

Let s Talk: Feelings is a card game to enable people to become more aware of their feelings.

It is an adaptable resource, designed for use as a 5-minute ice breaker, in a one-hour discussion, or in a series of more detailed workshop sessions, and covers a range of feelings, for example: angry, jealous, calm, disappointed, overwhelmed, proud, nervous, frustrated, uncomfortable, curious, left out, loving.

The cards are presented in 6 sections:

• Give an example of when you felt...?
• How would you feel if...? (for example, if all your friends were invited to a party and you weren t, or if you get the blame for something you did not do)
• You are feeling...? How would you show it?
• Dealing with different emotions
• Helping friends to deal with different feelings
• Other people s feelings (e.g. You boast about your achievements. How might the other person feel?; You ask for help from a friend even though you know they are busy. How might they feel?).

Let's Talk: Feelings can be used:

• with adults and children.
• with individuals or in small groups
• at home, school (e.g. circle time, learning support), in therapy settings.
