Activity
Play Feelings Charades!
- Create your own feelings puppets using paper cut into circles, markers to draw a face, and a popsicle stick or a straw to hold each puppet (if you don’t have popsicle sticks or straws, you can just hold the circles!).
- One person holds a puppet on their forehead so the other players can see it, but they cannot.
- The other players use facial expressions and body language to get the player to guess the correct feeling.
- See if the player holding the puppet can guess correctly!
Example of feelings puppets:
