Activity

Play Feelings Charades!

  1. 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!).
  2. One person holds a puppet on their forehead so the other players can see it, but they cannot.
  3. The other players use facial expressions and body language to get the player to guess the correct feeling.
  4. See if the player holding the puppet can guess correctly!
